1 Krønikebok 20
1 Året etter ved det leitet kongarne plar fara i herferd, tok Joab ut med heren og herja landet åt Ammons-sønerne. Og han kom og kringsette Rabba, medan David vart verande i Jerusalem. Og Joab tok Rabba og øydela byen.
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.
2 Og David tok kruna av hovudet på kongen deira; og det vart røynt at ho vog vel tvo vågar gull, og ho var prydd med ein dyr stein. Ho vart no sett på hovudet åt David, og han førde nøgdi av herfang burt or byen.
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.
3 Og folket i byen førde han ut, og sette deim ved sagerne og treskjevalsarne av jarn og øksarne. Soleis for David åt med alle ammonitbyarne. So snudde David og alt folket heim att til Jerusalem.
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.
4 Sidan vart det ein strid med filistarane ved Gezer; då vann husatiten Sibbekai yver Sippai, ein av Rafa-ætlingarne; so vart dei kua.
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.
5 Sidan vart det ein ny strid med filistarane på nytt lag; Elhanan Ja’irsson hogg då ned Lahmi, bror åt Goliat frå Gat, som hadde eit spjotskaft som stor-riven på ein vev.
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.
6 So stod det ein strid ved Gat. Der var det ein risestor mann, som hadde seks fingrar og seks tær, fire og tjuge i alt; han og var ætta frå rafa’itarne.
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.
7 Han hædde Israel; men Jonatan, son åt Simea, som var bror åt David, drap honom.
And when he put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David's brother, put him to death.
8 Desse var ætta frå Rafa i Gat, og dei fall for David og tenarane hans.
These were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; they came to their death by the hands of David and his servants.
