I Paralipomenon 20
1 Factum est autem post anni circulum, eo tempore, quo solent reges ad bella procedere, congregavit Ioab exercitum, et robur militiae, et vastavit terram filiorum Ammon; perrexitque et obsedit Rabba: porro David manebat in Ierusalem quando Ioab percussit Rabba, et destruxit eam.
It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 Tulit autem David coronam Melchom de capite eius, et invenit in ea auri pondo talentum, et pretiosissimas gemmas, fecitque sibi inde diadema: manubias quoque urbis plurimas tulit:
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 on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
3 populum autem, qui erat in ea, eduxit: et fecit super eos tribulas, et trahas, et ferrata carpenta transire, ita ut dissecarentur, et contererentur: sic fecit David cunctis urbibus filiorum Ammon: et reversus est cum omni populo suo in Ierusalem.
He brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Post haec initum est bellum in Gazer adversum Philisthaeos: in quo percussit Sobochai Husathites, Saphai de genere Raphaim, et humiliavit eos.
Now it happened afterward that there was again war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim; and they were subdued.
5 Aliud quoque bellum gestum est adversus Philisthaeos, in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus Bethlehemites fratrem Goliath Gethaei, cuius hastae lignum erat quasi liciatorium texentium.
There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 Sed et aliud bellum accidit in Geth, in quo fuit homo longissimus, senos habens digitos, id est, simul viginti quattuor: qui et ipse de Rapha fuerat stirpe generatus.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was descended from the Raphah.
7 Hic blasphemavit Israel: et percussit eum Ionathan filius Samaa fratris David.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah David's brother killed him.
8 Hi sunt filii Rapha in Geth, qui ceciderunt in manu David et servorum eius.
These were the descendants of the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
