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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

⁸Need põlvnesid refalastest Gatis ja nad langesid Taaveti ja tema sulaste käe läbi.

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