1 Chronicles 20

1 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.

[戰敗阿孟]一年復始，正當諸王出征的季節，約阿布統率精兵，蹂躪了阿孟子民的地方，然後去包圍了辣巴，當時達味留在那耶路撒冷。約阿布攻陷了辣巴，加以破壞。

2 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.

達味從米耳公的頭上，取下他的冠冕來，發現有一點「塔冷通」重的金子，上面還有一塊寶石。達味將這塊寶石戴在自己頭上；並由城中運走了大批的戰利品。

3 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.

至於城內的居民，達味將他們帶走，叫他們拉鋸、持鎚、操斧工作。達味如此對待了阿孟子民所有的城市，然後率領全軍回了耶路撒冷。[三敗培肋舍特]

4 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.

這些事以後，右與培肋舍特人在革則爾發生了戰事。胡沙人息貝開擊殺了辣法巨人的後裔息派，他們便投降歸順了。

5 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.

以後，又與培肋舍特交戰，雅依爾的兒子厄耳哈難擊殺了加特人哥肋雅的兄弟拉赫米。這人的長矛粗如織布機的橫軸。

6 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.

此後，在加特又起了戰事，在那裏有一巨人，兩手各有六指，兩足亦各有六趾，共有二十四個，也是辣法巨人的後裔。

7 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah David's brother killed him.

由於他辱罵了以色列，達味的兄弟史默亞的兒子約納堂將他殺死：

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

這些人全是加特城辣法巨人的子孫，都喪身在達味和他的臣僕手裏。
