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.
1In ko je preteklo leto, ob času, ko hodijo kralji na boj, je peljal Joab ven vojne trume in opustošil deželo sinov Amonovih, in pride in oblega Rabo. David pa je ostal v Jeruzalemu. In Joab je udaril Rabo in jo razdejal.
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.
2In David vzame krono njih kralja z glave njegove, težko talent zlata in obloženo z dragimi kameni; in posadili so jo Davidu na glavo. Tudi plena iz mesta je odpeljal silno veliko.
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.
3In izpeljal je ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njem, in jih je postavil pri žagah in pri železnih mlatilnicah in pri sekirah. Tako je storil David vsem mestom sinov Amonovih. In David in vse ljudstvo se vrne v Jeruzalem.
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.
4Potem se vname vojska v Gezerju s Filistejci. Takrat je udaril Sibekaj Husajec Sipaja, iz sinov velikanovih; in bili so ponižani.
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.
5In zopet je bila vojna s Filistejci; in Elhanan, sin Jairov, je udaril Lahmija, brata Goliata Gatovca, ki je imel suličišče pri svoji sulici kakor tkalsko vratilo.
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.
6In zopet je bila bitka v Gatu, kjer je bil mož visoke postave, ki je imel po šest prstov na rokah in na nogah, skupaj štiriindvajset; tudi ta se je bil rodil velikanu.
7When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.
7Ko je ta sramotil Izraela, ga je ubil Jonatan, sin Simea, brata Davidovega.Ti so se bili rodili velikanu v Gatu, in padli so po roki Davidovi in po roki služabnikov njegovih.
8These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
8Ti so se bili rodili velikanu v Gatu, in padli so po roki Davidovi in po roki služabnikov njegovih.
