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, 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 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 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 also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Han bespottade Israel; men Jonathan, Simea son, Davids broders, slog honom.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
8 Desse voro födde af Rapha i Gath, och föllo genom Davids och hans tjenares hand.
These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
