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.
And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, 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.
And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
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.
And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with alibis 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 this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and 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.
Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff 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.
There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.
7 Han hædde Israel; men Jonatan, son åt Simea, som var bror åt David, drap honom.
He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him.
8 Desse var ætta frå Rafa i Gat, og dei fall for David og tenarane hans.
These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
