La conquista di Rabba
20 (A)L’anno seguente, nel tempo in cui i re cominciano la guerra, Ioab, alla testa di un poderoso esercito, andò a devastare il paese dei figli di Ammon e assediò Rabba; ma Davide rimase a Gerusalemme. E Ioab batté Rabba e la distrusse. 2 Davide tolse dalla testa del loro re[a] la corona, e trovò che pesava un talento[b] d’oro e che aveva una pietra preziosa; essa fu posta sulla testa di Davide. Egli riportò anche dalla città un grandissimo bottino. 3 Fece uscire gli abitanti che erano nella città e li fece lavorare con seghe, érpici di ferro e scuri. Così fece Davide a tutte le città dei figli di Ammon. Poi Davide se ne tornò a Gerusalemme con tutto il popolo.
Vittorie di Davide sui Filistei
4 (B)Dopo ci fu una battaglia con i Filistei, a Ghezer. Allora Sibbecai di Cusa uccise Sippai, uno dei discendenti di Rafa[c]; e i Filistei furono umiliati.
5 Ci fu un’altra battaglia con i Filistei; ed Elanan, figlio di Iair, uccise Lami, fratello di Goliat di Gat, la cui asta della lancia era come un subbio da tessitore.
6 Ci fu ancora una battaglia a Gat, dove si trovò un uomo di grande statura, che aveva sei dita per ciascuna mano e per ciascun piede, in tutto ventiquattro dita. Anch’egli era dei discendenti di Rafa. 7 Egli insultò Israele; e Gionatan, figlio di Simea, fratello di Davide, l’uccise.
8 Questi quattro uomini erano nati a Gat della stirpe di Rafa. Essi perirono per mano di Davide e per mano della sua gente.

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.

The Capture of Rabbah
20 (A)In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led out the army and ravaged the country of the Ammonites and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And (B)Joab struck down Rabbah and overthrew it. 2 (C)And David took the crown of their king from his head. He found that it weighed a talent[a] of gold, and in it was a precious stone. And it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount. 3 And he brought out the people who were in it and set them to labor[b] (D)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.
Philistine Giants Killed
4 (E)And after this there arose war with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Sippai, who was one of the descendants of the giants, and the Philistines were subdued. 5 And there was again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of (F)Jair struck down Lahmi (G)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 (H)Shimea, David's brother, struck him down. 8 These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
