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 David loh amih kah manghai rhuisam te a lu dong lamloh a loh pah. Te te a khiing sui talent khat lo tih a khuiah lung vang om. Te tah David lu dongah om tih khopuei kah kutbuem a khuen khaw bahoeng yet.
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 A khuikah pilnam te khaw a khuen tih hlawh taengah, thi yoeng taengah, hlawh te a ah sak. Te tlam te David loh Ammon koca rhoek kah khopuei boeih te a saii. Te phoeiah ni David neh a pilnam boeih te Jerusalem la a mael pueng.
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.

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.

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.

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.

These were the descendants of the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
