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.

¹In ko je preteklo leto, ob času, ko hodijo kralji na boj, je peljal Joab ven vojne trume in opustošil deželo sinov Amonovih, in pride in oblega Rabo. David pa je ostal v Jeruzalemu. In Joab je udaril Rabo in jo razdejal.

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.

²In David vzame krono njih kralja z glave njegove, težko talent zlata in obloženo z dragimi kameni; in posadili so jo Davidu na glavo. Tudi plena iz mesta je odpeljal silno veliko.

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.

³In izpeljal je ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njem, in jih je postavil pri žagah in pri železnih mlatilnicah in pri sekirah. Tako je storil David vsem mestom sinov Amonovih. In David in vse ljudstvo se vrne v Jeruzalem.

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.

⁴Potem se vname vojska v Gezerju s Filistejci. Takrat je udaril Sibekaj Husajec Sipaja, iz sinov velikanovih; in bili so ponižani.

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.

⁵In zopet je bila vojna s Filistejci; in Elhanan, sin Jairov, je udaril Lahmija, brata Goliata Gatovca, ki je imel suličišče pri svoji sulici kakor tkalsko vratilo.

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.

⁶In zopet je bila bitka v Gatu, kjer je bil mož visoke postave, ki je imel po šest prstov na rokah in na nogah, skupaj štiriindvajset; tudi ta se je bil rodil velikanu.

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

⁷Ko je ta sramotil Izraela, ga je ubil Jonatan, sin Simea, brata Davidovega.Ti so se bili rodili velikanu v Gatu, in padli so po roki Davidovi in po roki služabnikov njegovih.

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

⁸Ti so se bili rodili velikanu v Gatu, in padli so po roki Davidovi in po roki služabnikov njegovih.
