¹A stalo sa po roku, o čase, keď vychádzavajú kráľovia do vojny, že vyviedol Joáb silu vojska a hubil zem synov Ammonových a prijdúc obľahol Rabbu, ale Dávid zostal v Jeruzaleme. A Joáb porazil Rabbu a rozboril ju.

¹And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year — at the time of the going out of the messengers — that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah — David is abiding in Jerusalem — and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.

²A Dávid sňal korunu ich kráľa s jeho hlavy a našiel, že vážila hrivnu zlata, a boly v nej drahé kamene, a bola položená na hlavu Dávidovu. A koristi toho mesta vyniesol veľmi mnoho.

²And David taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,

³A ľud, ktorý bol v ňom, vyviedol a postavil ho do píly a k strojom, režúcim železo, a k sekerám. A tak urobil Dávid všetkým mestám synov Ammonových. Vtedy sa navrátil Dávid i všetok ľud do Jeruzalema.

³and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.

⁴Potom sa stalo, že povstala vojna v Gázere s Filištínmi. Vtedy zabil Sibbechai Chušatský Sippaiho, ktorý bol z detí Ráfu, a boli zohnutí.

⁴And it cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.

⁵A zase bola vojna s Filištínmi, a vtedy zabil Elchanan, syn Jairov, Lachmiho, brata Goliáša Gitťanského. A drevo jeho kopije bolo jako tkáčsky návoj.

⁵And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers.

⁶A zase bola vojna v Gáte. A bol tam nejaký muž veľkej postavy, ktorý mal po šiestich prstoch, dvadsaťštyri. Aj ten sa narodil obrovi Ráfovi.

⁶And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant.

⁷A keď hanil Izraela, zabil ho Jonatán, syn Šimeu, brata Dávidovho.

⁷And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.

⁸Tí sa narodili Ráfovi v Gáte a padli od ruky Dávidovej a od ruky jeho služobníkov.

⁸These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
