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.
1[] Εν δε τω ακολουθω ετει, καθ' ον καιρον εκστρατευουσιν οι βασιλεις, ο Ιωαβ εξεκινησε πασαν την δυναμιν του στρατευματος και εφθειρε την γην των υιων Αμμων, και ελθων επολιορκησε την Ραββα· ο δε Δαβιδ εμεινεν εν Ιερουσαλημ. Και επαταξεν ο Ιωαβ την Ραββα και κατεστρεψεν αυτην.
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.
2Και ελαβεν ο Δαβιδ τον στεφανον του βασιλεως αυτων απο της κεφαλης αυτου· και ευρεθη το βαρος αυτου εν ταλαντον χρυσιου· και ησαν επ' αυτου λιθοι πολυτιμοι και ετεθη επι την κεφαλης του Δαβιδ· και λαφυρα της πολεως εξεφερε πολλα σφοδρα.
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.
3Και τον λαον τον εν αυτη εξηγαγε, και εκοψεν αυτους με πριονας και με τριβολους σιδηρους και με πελεκεις. Και ουτως εκαμεν ο Δαβιδ εις πασας τας πολεις των υιων Αμμων. Τοτε επεστρεψεν ο Δαβιδ και πας ο λαος εις Ιερουσαλημ.
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.
4[] Μετα δε ταυτα συνεκροτηθη πολεμος εν Γεζερ μετα των Φιλισταιων· τοτε επαταξεν ο Σιββεχαι ο Χουσαθιτης τον Σιφφαι, εκ των τεκνων του Ραφα· και κατετροπωθησαν.
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.
5Και παλιν εγεινε πολεμος μετα των Φιλισταιων· και επαταξεν ο Ελχαναν ο υιος του Ιαειρ τον Λααμει, αδελφον του Γολιαθ του Γετθαιου, και το ξυλον της λογχης αυτου ητο ως αντιον υφαντου.
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.
6Και παλιν εγεινε πολεμος εν Γαθ, οπου ητο ανηρ υπερμεγεθης, και οι δακτυλοι αυτου ησαν εξ και εξ, εικοσιτεσσαρες, και ουτος ετι ητο εκ της γενεας του Ραφα.
7And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
7Και ωνειδισε τον Ισραηλ, και Ιωναθαν ο υιος του Σαμαα, αδελφου του Δαβιδ, επαταξεν αυτον.
8These were born to Rapha in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
8Ουτοι εγεννηθησαν εις τον Ραφα εν Γαθ· και επεσον δια χειρος του Δαβιδ και δια χειρος των δουλων αυτου.
