1وكان عند تمام السنة في وقت خروج الملوك اقتاد يوآب قوة الجيش واخرب ارض بني عمون واتى وحاصر ربّة. وكان داود مقيما في اورشليم. فضرب يوآب ربّة وهدمها.
1And it came to pass at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and laid waste the land of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2واخذ داود تاج ملكهم عن راسه فوجد وزنه وزنة من الذهب وفيه حجر كريم فكان على راس داود. واخرج غنيمة المدينة وكانت كثيرة جدا.
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 forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
3واخرج الشعب الذين بها ونشرهم بمناشير ونوارج حديد وفؤوس. وهكذا صنع داود لكل مدن بني عمون ثم رجع داود وكل الشعب الى اورشليم
3And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with the saw, and with harrows of iron, and with saws. And so David did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4ثم بعد ذلك قامت حرب في جازر مع الفلسطينيين. حينئذ سبكاي الحوشي قتل سفّاي من اولاد رافا فذلّوا.
4And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Sippai, one of the children of Rapha; and they were subdued.
5وكانت ايضا حرب مع الفلسطينيين فقتل الحانان بن ياعور لحمي اخا جليات الجتّي. وكانت قناة رمحه كنول النسّاجين.
5And there was again a battle with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair smote Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
6ثم كانت ايضا حرب في جتّ وكان رجل طويل القامة أعنش اصابعه اربع وعشرون وهو ايضا ولد لرافا.
6And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, whose fingers [and toes] were four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]; and he also was born to Rapha.
7ولما عيّر اسرائيل ضربه يهوناثان بن شمعا اخي داود.
7And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
8هؤلاء ولدوا لرافا في جت وسقطوا بيد داود وبيد عبيده
8These were born to Rapha in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
