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 return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba 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 Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
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 sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his 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 afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
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 Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' 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 war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
7 Han bespottade Israel; men Jonathan, Simea son, Davids broders, slog honom.
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
8 Desse voro födde af Rapha i Gath, och föllo genom Davids och hans tjenares hand.
These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
