1 Chronicles
Chapter 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.
