1 Cronache 20
1 Or avvenne che, in capo dell'anno, al tempo che i re sogliono uscire [alla guerra], Ioab condusse fuori l'esercito, e guastò il paese de' figliuoli di Ammon; poi venne, e pose l'assedio a Rabba; ma Davide dimorò in Gerusalemme; e Ioab percosse Rabba, e la disfece.
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 stroke Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 E Davide prese la corona di Malcam d'in su la testa di esso, e trovò che pesava un talento d'oro, e [vi erano] delle pietre preziose; e fu [posta] sopra il capo di Davide. Egli ne portò eziandio le spoglie della città, ch'[erano] in grandissima quantità.
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 upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
3 E trasse fuori il popolo, e lo mise in pezzi con seghe, e con trebbie di ferro, e con mannaie. E così fece Davide a tutte le città de' figliuoli di Ammon. Poi se ne ritornò, con tutto il popolo, in Gerusalemme.
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 DOPO queste cose, avvenne che si mosse guerra contro a' Filistei, in Ghezer. Allora Sibbecai Hussatita percosse Sippai, [ch'era] della progenie di Rafa; ed [i Filistei] furono abbassati.
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 Vi fu ancora un'[altra] guerra contro a' Filistei, nella quale Elhanan, figliuolo di Iair, percosse Lachmi, fratello di Goliat, Ghitteo, l'asta della cui lancia [era] come un subbio di tessitore.
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 Vi fu ancora un'[altra] guerra in Gat, dove si trovò un uomo di [grande] statura, il quale aveva sei dita [in ciascuna mano, ed in ciascun piè]; [sì ch'erano in tutto] ventiquattro; ed [era] anch'egli della progenie di Rafa.
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 Ed egli schernì Israele; ma Gionatan, figliuolo di Sima, fratello di Davide, lo percosse.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
8 Questi nacquero in Gat, della schiatta di Rafa, e furono morti per mano di Davide, e per mano de' suoi servitori.
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
