¹And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year — at the time of the going out of the messengers — that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah — David is abiding in Jerusalem — and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.

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 taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,

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 the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, 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 cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.

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

⁵And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers.

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

⁶And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to 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.

⁷And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.

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

⁸These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall 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.
