1 Chronicles 20
- And it came to pass, that after the year
was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power
of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and
besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem.
And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
- And 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 also exceeding much spoil out of the
city.
- And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with
saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt
David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all
the people returned to Jerusalem.
- And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the
Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai,
that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
- And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of
Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like
a weaver's beam.
- And yet again there was war at Gath,
where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes
were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was
the son of the giant.
- But when he defied Israel,
Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
- These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and
by the hand of his servants.
