I Chronicles
Chapter 20
1
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/delayed at Jerusalem.
And
Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2
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.
{Note:
This is a parallel passage with II Samuel 10. The king here is
Hanun, son of Nahash.}
3
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
And it came to pass after this,
that
there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines;
at
which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai,
who
were of the children of the giant.
And
they were subdued.
5
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
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
But when he defied Israel,
Jonathan
the son of Shimea,
David's
brother,
slew
him.
8
These were born unto the giant in Gath;
and
they fell by the hand of David,
and
by the hand of his servants.
