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.
1It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck 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.
2David 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 on David’s head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
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.
3He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut them with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. 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.
4It happened after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
5Ja taas oli sõda vilistitega, ja Elhanan, Jairi poeg, lõi maha Lahmi, gatlase Koljati venna, kelle piigivars oli nagu kangrupoom.
5There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose 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.
6There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7Aga kui ta laimas Iisraeli, siis lõi Joonatan, Taaveti venna Simea poeg, tema maha.
7When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.
8Need põlvnesid refalastest Gatis ja nad langesid Taaveti ja tema sulaste käe läbi.
8These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
