1 Krønikebok 20
1 Året etter ved det leitet kongarne plar fara i herferd, tok Joab ut med heren og herja landet åt Ammons-sønerne. Og han kom og kringsette Rabba, medan David vart verande i Jerusalem. Og Joab tok Rabba og øydela byen.
Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.
2 Og David tok kruna av hovudet på kongen deira; og det vart røynt at ho vog vel tvo vågar gull, og ho var prydd med ein dyr stein. Ho vart no sett på hovudet åt David, og han førde nøgdi av herfang burt or byen.
Then David took the crown of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many.
3 Og folket i byen førde han ut, og sette deim ved sagerne og treskjevalsarne av jarn og øksarne. Soleis for David åt med alle ammonitbyarne. So snudde David og alt folket heim att til Jerusalem.
Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people to Jerusalem.
4 Sidan vart det ein strid med filistarane ved Gezer; då vann husatiten Sibbekai yver Sippai, ein av Rafa-ætlingarne; so vart dei kua.
After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them.
5 Sidan vart det ein ny strid med filistarane på nytt lag; Elhanan Ja’irsson hogg då ned Lahmi, bror åt Goliat frå Gat, som hadde eit spjotskaft som stor-riven på ein vev.
Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 So stod det ein strid ved Gat. Der var det ein risestor mann, som hadde seks fingrar og seks tær, fire og tjuge i alt; han og var ætta frå rafa’itarne.
Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim.
7 Han hædde Israel; men Jonatan, son åt Simea, som var bror åt David, drap honom.
He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down.
8 Desse var ætta frå Rafa i Gat, og dei fall for David og tenarane hans.
These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
