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.

¹A stalo sa po roku, o čase, keď vychádzavajú kráľovia do vojny, že vyviedol Joáb silu vojska a hubil zem synov Ammonových a prijdúc obľahol Rabbu, ale Dávid zostal v Jeruzaleme. A Joáb porazil Rabbu a rozboril ju.

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.

²A Dávid sňal korunu ich kráľa s jeho hlavy a našiel, že vážila hrivnu zlata, a boly v nej drahé kamene, a bola položená na hlavu Dávidovu. A koristi toho mesta vyniesol veľmi mnoho.

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.

³A ľud, ktorý bol v ňom, vyviedol a postavil ho do píly a k strojom, režúcim železo, a k sekerám. A tak urobil Dávid všetkým mestám synov Ammonových. Vtedy sa navrátil Dávid i všetok ľud do Jeruzalema.

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.

⁴Potom sa stalo, že povstala vojna v Gázere s Filištínmi. Vtedy zabil Sibbechai Chušatský Sippaiho, ktorý bol z detí Ráfu, a boli zohnutí.

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.

⁵A zase bola vojna s Filištínmi, a vtedy zabil Elchanan, syn Jairov, Lachmiho, brata Goliáša Gitťanského. A drevo jeho kopije bolo jako tkáčsky návoj.

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.

⁶A zase bola vojna v Gáte. A bol tam nejaký muž veľkej postavy, ktorý mal po šiestich prstoch, dvadsaťštyri. Aj ten sa narodil obrovi Ráfovi.

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

⁷A keď hanil Izraela, zabil ho Jonatán, syn Šimeu, brata Dávidovho.

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

⁸Tí sa narodili Ráfovi v Gáte a padli od ruky Dávidovej a od ruky jeho služobníkov.
