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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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