1 Chronicles 20
1 Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.
Næste År, ved den Tid Kongerne drager i Krig, førte Joab Krigshæren ud og hærgede Ammoniternes Land; derpå drog han hen og belejrede Rabba. David blev derimod selv i Jerusalem. Og Joab indtog Rabba og ødelagde det.
2 And David took the crown of Milcom from off his head; its weight was a talent of gold and it had stones of great price in it; and it was put on David's head, and he took a great store of goods from the town.
Da tog David Kronen af Milkoms Hoved, og han fandt, at den var af Guld og vejede en Talent; der var en Ædelsten på den, og den blev sat på Davids Hoved. Et vældigt Bytte fra Byen førte han med sig,
3 And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and axes. And this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.
og Indbyggerne slæbte han bort og satte dem til Savene, Jernhakkerne og Økserne. Således gjorde han ved alle Ammonifemes Byer. Derpå vendte David og hele Hæren tilbage til Jerusalem.
4 Now after this there was war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Sippai, one of the offspring of the Rephaim; and they were overcome.
Siden hen kom det atter til Kamp med Filisterne i Gezer. Husjatiten Sibbekaj nedhuggede da Sippaj, som var af Rafaslægten, og de blev underkuet.
5 And again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan, the son of Jair, put to death Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.
Atter kom det til Kamp med Filis, terne. Elhanan, Ja'irs Søn, nedhuggede da Lami, Gatiten Goliats Broder, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverbom.
6 And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
Atter kom det til Kamp i Gat. Da var der en kæmpe stor Mand med seks Fingre på hver Hånd og seks Tæer på hver Fod, i alt fire og tyve; han var også af Rafaslægten.
7 And when he put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David's brother, put him to death.
Han hånede Israel, og derfor huggede Jonatan, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, ham ned.
8 These were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; they came to their death by the hands of David and his servants.
Disse var af Rafaslægten i Gat; de faldt for Davids og hans Mænds Hånd.
