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.
It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that Joab led the army into battle and devastated the land of the Ammonites. He went and besieged Rabbah. David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and defeated 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.
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and he found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones. The crown was set on David's head, and he brought out the plunder of the city in large quantities.
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.
He brought out the people who were in the city and forced them to work with saws and iron picks and axes. David required all the cities of the people of Ammon to do this labor. Then David and all the army 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.
It came about after this that there was a battle at Gezer with the Philistines. Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
5 Наста опет рат с Филистејима, у коме Елханан, син Јаиров уби Ламију, брата Голијата Гетејина, коме копљача беше као вратило.
It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Lahmi brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear 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.
It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
7 И ружаше Израиља, те га уби Јонатан син Самаје брата Давидовог.
When he mocked the army of Israel, Jehonadab son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
8 Ти беху синови истог дива из Гата, и погибоше од руке Давидове и од руке слуга његових.
These were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
