The First
Book of Paralipomenon 20
And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the
time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together
an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the
land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged
Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote
Rabba, and destroyed it.
And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and
found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious
stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took
also the spoils of the city which were very great.
And the people that were therein he brought out: and
made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go
over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces:
in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the
children of Ammon : and he returned with alibis people
to Jerusalem.
After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines:
in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race
of Raphaim, and humbled them.
Another battle also was fought against the Philistines,
in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite
slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of
whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
There was another battle also in Geth, in which there
was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were
four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also
was born of the stock of Rapha.
He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the
brother of David slew him. These were the sons of Rapha
in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants. |
