¹And 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 smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

¹Järgmisel aastal, kuningate sõttamineku ajal, juhtis Joab sõjaväge ja hävitas ammonlaste maa; ta tuli ja piiras Rabbat. Aga Taavet jäi Jeruusalemma. Joab vallutas Rabba ja kiskus selle maha.

²And 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.

²Ja Taavet võttis nende kuningal krooni peast ja leidis, et see vaagis talendi kulda ja et selles olid kalliskivid - ja see pandi Taavetile pähe; ja ta tõi linnast väga palju saaki.

³And 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.

³Rahva, kes seal oli, tõi ta välja ja pani tööle saagide, kirkade ja kivisaagidega; nõnda talitas Taavet kõigi ammonlaste linnadega. Siis läks Taavet ja kogu rahvas tagasi Jeruusalemma.

⁴And 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.

⁴Ja pärast seda puhkes sõda vilistitega Geseris; siis lõi huusalane Sibbekai maha Sippai, kes oli refalaste järglasi, ja nad alandati.

⁵And 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.

⁵Ja taas oli sõda vilistitega, ja Elhanan, Jairi poeg, lõi maha Lahmi, gatlase Koljati venna, kelle piigivars oli nagu kangrupoom.

⁶And 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.

⁶Ja taas oli sõda Gatis; ja seal oli pikk mees, kel oli kuus sõrme kummalgi käel ja kuus varvast kummalgi jalal, ühtekokku kakskümmend neli; temagi oli refalaste järglasi.

⁷But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

⁷Aga kui ta laimas Iisraeli, siis lõi Joonatan, Taaveti venna Simea poeg, tema maha.

⁸These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

⁸Need põlvnesid refalastest Gatis ja nad langesid Taaveti ja tema sulaste käe läbi.
