< 1 Књига дневника 20 >
1 А кад прође година, у време кад цареви иду на војску, Јоав изведе војску, па потираше земљу синова Амонових, и дошавши опколи Раву; а Давид беше остао у Јерусалиму. И Јоав освоји Раву и раскопа је.
And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 И Давид узе цару њиховом с главе круну, и нађе да потеже таланат злата, и драго камење беше у њој; и метнуше је на главу Давиду, и однеше из града плен врло велик.
And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
3 А народ што беше у њему изведе и исече их пилама и гвозденим бранама и секирама. И тако учини Давид свим градовима синова Амонових. Потом се врати Давид са свим народом у Јерусалим.
And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 А после тога наста рат у Гезеру у Филистејима; тада Сивехај Хусаћанин уби Сифаја који беше рода дивовског, и бише покорени.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5 Наста опет рат с Филистејима, у коме Елханан, син Јаиров уби Ламију, брата Голијата Гетејина, коме копљача беше као вратило.
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
6 И опет наста рат у Гату, где беше један човек врло висок, који имаше по седам прста, скупа двадесет и четири; и он беше рода дивовског.
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.
7 И ружаше Израиља, те га уби Јонатан син Самаје брата Давидовог.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
8 Ти беху синови истог дива из Гата, и погибоше од руке Давидове и од руке слуга његових.
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
