Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
攻取拉巴
20 第二年春天，在列王出征的时节，约押率领军兵去毁坏亚扪人的土地，然后围攻拉巴，将城摧毁。当时，大卫在耶路撒冷。 2 大卫赶到拉巴夺取了亚扪王头上的金冠。这金冠重达三十四公斤，上面还镶着宝石，人们将它戴在大卫头上。大卫从城里获得许多战利品， 3 他把城里的人带出来，命他们用锯、铁耙和斧头做工。他用同样的方法对待亚扪其他城邑的居民。之后，大卫和全军返回耶路撒冷。
打败非利士巨人
4 这事以后，以色列人又在基色与非利士人交战。户沙人西比该杀死一个叫细派的巨人后裔，非利士人被征服。 5 后来，以色列人又与非利士人交战，雅珥的儿子伊勒哈难杀了迦特人歌利亚的兄弟拉哈米，拉哈米的枪杆粗如织布机的轴。 6 此后，在迦特又起了战事，那里有个身材高大的人，是巨人的后代。他每只手脚各有六个手指和脚趾，共二十四个手指和脚趾。 7 他向以色列人骂阵，大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单杀了他。 8 这三个迦特巨人的后裔都死在了大卫和他的部下手里。

Joab wins the fight for Rabbah
20 In the spring, Joab led the Israelite army out to fight. That was the time of year when kings go out to fight battles. Joab and his army attacked the land of the Ammonites and he won against them. He put his soldiers around Rabbah city so that they could attack it. But David had stayed in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and he destroyed its buildings.
2 When David came, he took the crown off the Ammonite king's head. The crown was made of gold. It weighed 34 kilograms. There was a valuable jewel fixed on it. David's men then put the crown on David's head. David also took a lot of valuable things from the city. 3 He brought the people out from the city to do hard work for him. He made them cut wood with saws, and use iron tools and axes. He did the same thing to the people of all the other Ammonite cities.
Then David and all his army returned to Jerusalem.
The army fights the Philistines
4 Some time after that, the Israelites fought a battle against the Philistines at Gezer. In that battle, Sibbecai from Hushah killed Sippai. Sippai was a descendant of Rapha.[a] So Israel won against the Philistines.
5 In another battle against the Philistines, Jair's son Elhanan killed Lahmi. Lahmi was the brother of Goliath who came from Gath. He had a spear that was very thick and heavy, like a big tree.
6 There was another battle at Gath. Another descendant of Rapha fought against the Israelites there. He was a very large man. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. 7 He shouted to insult the Israelite soldiers. So Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shimea, killed him.
8 Those Philistines were descendants of Rapha and they lived in Gath. David and his soldiers killed all of them.

1 Chronicles 20
New Century Version
Joab Destroys the Ammonites
20 In the spring, the time of year when kings normally went out to battle, Joab led out the army of Israel. But David stayed in Jerusalem. The army of Israel destroyed the land of Ammon and went to the city of Rabbah and attacked it. 2 David took the crown off the head of their king,[a] and had it placed on his own head. That gold crown weighed about seventy-five pounds, and it had valuable gems in it. And David took many valuable things from the city. 3 He also brought out the people of the city and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. David did this to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his army returned to Jerusalem.
Philistine Giants Are Killed
4 Later, at Gezer, war broke out with the Philistines. Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the descendants of the Rephaites. So those Philistines were defeated.
5 Later, there was another battle with the Philistines. Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath, who was from the town of Gath. His spear was as large as a weaver’s rod.
6 At Gath another battle took place. A huge man was there; he had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four fingers and toes in all. This man also was one of the sons of Rapha. 7 When he spoke against Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 These descendants of Rapha from Gath were killed by David and his men.
