历代志上 20
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約押攻取拉巴(A)
20 過了年,在列王出征的時候,約押帶領軍兵,毀壞了亞捫人的地方,然後去圍困拉巴。那時大衛住在耶路撒冷。約押攻打拉巴,把城摧毀。 2 大衛從米勒公神像的頭上取下金冠,發現金子重三十公斤,又有一塊寶石嵌在上面;有人把這冠冕戴在大衛的頭上;大衛從城裡奪走了大批戰利品。 3 又把城裡的眾民拉出來,要他們用鋸子、鐵鏟和斧子作工;大衛待亞捫各城的人都是這樣。後來大衛和眾民都回耶路撒冷去了。
三敗非利士人(B)
4 這事以後,以色列人在基色與非利士人交戰;那時戶沙人西比該擊殺了巨人的一個兒子細派,非利士人就被制伏了。 5 後來,以色列人與非利士人再次交戰,睚珥的兒子伊勒哈難,擊殺了迦特人歌利亞的兄弟拉哈米;這人的槍桿好像織布機軸一樣。 6 後來,在迦特又有戰事;那裡有一個身材高大的人,手腳各有六指,共有二十四根指頭;他也是巨人的兒子。 7 這人侮辱以色列人,大衛的哥哥示米亞的兒子約拿單就把他擊殺了。 8 這些人是迦特巨人的兒子,都死在大衛和他僕人的手下。

New Living Translation
David Captures Rabbah
20 In the spring of the year,[a] when kings normally go out to war, Joab led the Israelite army in successful attacks against the land of the Ammonites. In the process he laid siege to the city of Rabbah, attacking and destroying it. However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem.
2 Then David went to Rabbah and removed the crown from the king’s head,[b] and it was placed on his own head. The crown was made of gold and set with gems, and he found that it weighed seventy-five pounds.[c] David took a vast amount of plunder from the city. 3 He also made slaves of the people of Rabbah and forced them to labor with saws, iron picks, and iron axes.[d] That is how David dealt with the people of all the Ammonite towns. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
Battles against Philistine Giants
4 After this, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. As they fought, Sibbecai from Hushah killed Saph,[e] a descendant of the giants,[f] and so the Philistines were subdued.
5 During another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath of Gath. The handle of Lahmi’s spear was as thick as a weaver’s beam!
6 In another battle with the Philistines at Gath, they encountered a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all, who was also a descendant of the giants. 7 But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan, the son of David’s brother Shimea.
8 These Philistines were descendants of the giants of Gath, but David and his warriors killed them.

Revised Standard Version
Siege and Capture of Rabbah
20 In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, Jo′ab led out the army, and ravaged the country of the Ammonites, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And Jo′ab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it. 2 And David took the crown of their king[a] from his head; he found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount. 3 And he brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to labor[b] with saws and iron picks and axes;[c] and thus David did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Exploits against the Philistines
4 And after this there arose war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sib′becai the Hu′shathite slew Sip′pai, who was one of the descendants of the giants; and the Philistines were subdued. 5 And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elha′nan the son of Ja′ir slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 6 And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was descended from the giants. 7 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shim′e-a, David’s brother, slew him. 8 These were descended from the giants in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
