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.

¹I stalo se po roce, když králové vyjíždívají na vojnu, že vedl Joáb lid válečný, a hubil zemi synů Ammon. A když přitáhl, oblehl Rabbu; (ale David zůstal v Jeruzalémě). I dobyl Joáb Rabby, a rozbořil ji.

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.

²Tedy sňal David korunu krále jejich s hlavy jeho, a našel, že vážila hřivnu zlata. A bylo v ní kamení drahé, i vstavena byla na hlavu Davidovu. Vyvezl též kořisti města velmi veliké.

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.

³Lid pak, kterýž v něm byl, vyvedl, a dal je pod pily a brány železné i sekery. A tak učinil David všechněm městům Ammonitským. I navrátil se David se vším lidem do Jeruzaléma.

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.

⁴Potom pak když trvala válka v Gázer s Filistinskými, tehdy zabil Sibbechai Chusatský Sippaje, kterýž byl zplozený z obrů, i sníženi jsou.

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.

⁵Byla ještě i jiná válka s Filistinskými, kdežto zabil Elchanan, syn Jairův, Lachmi bratra Goliáše Gittejského, u jehož kopí bylo dřevo jako vratidlo tkadlcovské.

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.

⁶Opět byla jiná válka v Gát, a byl tam muž veliké postavy, kterýž měl po šesti prstech, všech čtyřmecítma, a byl i on zplozený z téhož obra.

⁷When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.

⁷Ten když haněl Izraele, zabil ho Jonata syn Semmaa, bratra Davidova.

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

⁸Ti byli synové jednoho obra v Gát, kteříž padli od ruky Davidovy a od ruky služebníků jeho.
