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.

¹Huan hichi ahi a, kum a hongbeia kumpipate kidou dinga a kuankhiak sek lai un, Joabin sepaih ahatahat a pi khiaa. Amon suante gam a suhsaka, Raba khua a um uh. David bel Jerusalem ah a om. Huan Joabin Raba khua a suala, a lata hi.

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.

²Huan Davidin a kumpipa uh lallukhu khuk lai a laksaka, a gikdan dangkaeng talent khat ahi, suangmantamte leng a tela; huan, David a khusak ua; huan, khopi-a om gallak sum tampi a la hi.

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.

³Huan huailaia mipite bel a pi khiaa, singatnate, lei lehna sik zumte, heipitein na a semsaka. Huchibangin Amon tate khopi tengtengte Davidin a hih hi, Huan David leh mi tengteng Jerusalem ah a pai nawnta uhi.

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.

⁴Huan hichi ahi a, huainungin, Philistia mite toh Gezer ah kidouna a oma; huchiin Husat mi Sibekaiin milian suante laka mi Sippai a thata; huan, a vuallelta uhi.

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.

⁵Huan Philistia mite toh kidouna a om nawna; huan Jair tapa Elhanin Git mi Goliath unaupa Lahmi a thata, a tei kung chiampek bang ahi.

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.

⁶Huan Gath khua ah kidouna a om nawna, huaiah mi sang mahmah, a khut khatlam khatlama khutzung guk, a khe khatlam khatlama khezung guk, a veka sawmnih leh li nei a oma; amah leng milian laka piang ahi.

⁷And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.

⁷Huan aman Israel mite a simmoha, David unau Sime tapa Jonathanin a nathat hi.Huaite Gath khuaa milian laka piang ahi uh; huaite David leh a mite khut ah a si uhi.

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

⁸Huaite Gath khuaa milian laka piang ahi uh; huaite David leh a mite khut ah a si uhi.
