1 Och då året omgånget var, på den tid som Konungar utdraga, utförde Joab hären, och förderfvade Ammons barnas land; kom och belade Rabba; men David blef i Jerusalem. Och Joab slog Rabba, och bröt det neder.
And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the same season of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led out the power of the army, and destroyed the country of the children of 'Ammon, and he came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained behind at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and pulled it down.
2 Och David tog deras Konungs krono af hans hufvud, och fann deruti en centener gulds vigt och ädla stenar; och hon vardt satt på Davids hufvud; förde han ock ganska mycket rof utu staden.
And David took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and thereon a precious stone; and it was set on the head of David: and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
3 Men folket derinne förde han ut, och lät sönderdela dem med sågar och jernhackor och kilar; alltså gjorde David alla Ammons barnas städer. Och David drog med folkena till Jerusalem igen.
And the people that were therein he brought forward, and cut them with saws, and with iron threshing-wagons, and with axes; and thus did David unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon; and David returned then with all the people unto Jerusalem.
4 Derefter hof sig en strid upp i Gaser med de Philisteer. På den tiden slog Sibbechai, den Husathiten, Sippai, den utaf Rephaims barnom var, och undertryckte honom.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose a battle at Gezer with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Sippai, one of the children of the Rapha; and they were humbled.
5 Och det hof sig ännu en strid upp med de Philisteer. Då slog Elhanan, Jairs son, Lahmi, Goliaths broder den Gitthiten, hvilkens spjutskaft var såsom ett väfträ.
And there was again a battle with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Yair smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 Åter vardt en strid i Gath. Der var en stor man, han hade sex finger och sex tår, det gör fyra och tjugu. Han var också födder af Rapha.
And there was again a battle at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes were six on each [hand and foot], four and twenty [in all]; and he also was born to the Rapha.
7 Han bespottade Israel; men Jonathan, Simea son, Davids broders, slog honom.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'a the brother of David smote him.
8 Desse voro födde af Rapha i Gath, och föllo genom Davids och hans tjenares hand.
These were born unto the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
