1 Chronik 20
Luther Bibel 1545
20 Und da das Jahr um war, zur Zeit, wann die Könige ausziehen, führte Joab die Heermacht und verderbte der Kinder Ammon Land, kam und belagerte Rabba; David aber blieb zu Jerusalem. Und Joab schlug Rabba und zerbrach es.
2 Und David nahm die Krone seines Königs von seinem Haupt und fand daran einen Zentner Gold und Edelsteine; und sie ward David auf sein Haupt gesetzt. Auch führte er aus der Stadt sehr viel Raub.
3 Aber das Volk drinnen führte er heraus und zerteilte sie mit Sägen und eisernen Dreschwagen und Keilen. Also tat David in allen Städten der Kinder Ammon. Und David zog samt dem Volk wider nach Jerusalem.
4 Darnach erhob sich ein Streit zu Geser mit den Philistern. Dazumal schlug Sibbechai, der Husathiter, den Sippai, der aus den Kindern der Riesen war, und sie wurden gedemütigt.
5 Und es erhob sich noch ein Streit mit den Philistern. Da schlug Elhanan, der Sohn Jairs, den Lahemi, den Bruder Goliaths, den Gathiter, welcher hatte eine Spießstange wie ein Weberbaum.
6 Abermals ward ein Streit zu Gath. Da war ein großer Mann, der hatte je sechs Finger und sechs Zehen, die machen zusammen vierundzwanzig; und er war auch von den Riesen geboren
7 und höhnte Israel. Aber Jonathan, der Sohn Simeas, des Bruders Davids, schlug ihn.
8 Diese waren geboren von den Riesen zu Gath und fielen durch die Hand Davids und seiner Knechte.

Capture of the City of Rabbah
20 In the spring[a] when kings march out to war,(A) Joab led the army and destroyed the Ammonites’ land. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem.(B) Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it. 2 Then David took the crown from the head of their king,[b][c](C) and it was placed on David’s head. He found that the crown weighed thirty-five kilograms[d] of gold, and there was a precious stone in it. In addition, David took away a large quantity of plunder from the city. 3 He brought out the people who were in it and put them to work with saws,[e] iron picks, and axes.[f](D) David did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then he and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
The Philistine Giants
4 After this,(E) a war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim,[g](F) and the Philistines were subdued.
5 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath of Gath. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam.(G)
6 There was still another battle at Gath where there was a man of extraordinary stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot – twenty-four in all. He, too, was descended from the giant.[h] 7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
8 These were the descendants of the giant in Gath killed by David and his soldiers.

The Capture of Rabbah(A)
20 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, Joab led out the armed forces. He laid waste the land of the Ammonites and went to Rabbah(B) and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and left it in ruins.(C) 2 David took the crown from the head of their king[a]—its weight was found to be a talent[b] of gold, and it was set with precious stones—and it was placed on David’s head. He took a great quantity of plunder from the city 3 and brought out the people who were there, consigning them to labor with saws and with iron picks and axes.(D) David did this to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and his entire army returned to Jerusalem.
War With the Philistines(E)
4 In the course of time, war broke out with the Philistines, at Gezer.(F) At that time Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaites,(G) and the Philistines were subjugated.
5 In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.(H)
6 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. 7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 These were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
