1 Chronicles 20




1.  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.

2.  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.

3.  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.

4.  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 * .

5.  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.

6.  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.

7.  But when he defied * Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew * him.

8.  These were born * unto the giant in Gath; and they fell * by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
