Forsothe it was doon after the ende of a yeer, in that tyme wherinne kyngis ben wont to go forth to batels, Joab gederide the oost, and the strengthe of chyualrie, and he wastide the lond of the sones of Amon, and yede, and bisegide Rabath; forsothe Dauid dwellide in Jerusalem, whanne Joab smoot Rabath, and distriede it.
2 Bere a Dawid duu Raba no, otuu ɔhene no ahenkyɛw, na wɔde hyɛɛ Dawid. Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ahenkyɛw no na wɔde aboɔdemmo abobɔ mu. Na emu duru bɛyɛ kilogram aduasa anan. Dawid faa asade bebree fii kurow no mu.
