Joab Destroys the Ammonites
1In the spring, Joab led the army of Israel out to battle. That was the time of year when kings went out to battle, but David stayed in Jerusalem. The army of Israel went to the country of Ammon and destroyed it. Then they went to the city of Rabbah. The army camped around the city—they stayed there to keep people from going in or out of the city. Joab and the army of Israel fought against the city of Rabbah until they destroyed it.
2David took the crown from their king’s head. It was made of gold and weighed about 75 pounds. There were also valuable stones in it. The crown was put on David’s head. Then David ordered that anything of value be taken from the city.
3He forced the people who lived there to leave, and he put them to work using saws, iron picks, and axes. He did the same thing to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the army went back to Jerusalem.
Philistine Giants Are Killed
4Later, the Israelites went to war against the Philistines at the town of Gezer. At that time Sibbecai from Hushah killed Sippai, who was one of the descendants of the giant Rephaites. So those Philistines became like slaves to the Israelites.
5Another time when the Israelites fought against the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi. Lahmi was Goliath’s brother. Goliath was from the town of Gath. Lahmi’s spear was very big and heavy. It was like the large pole on a loom.
6Later, the Israelites fought another war with the Philistines at the town of Gath. In this town there was a very large man. He had 24 fingers and toes—six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was another descendant of the Rephaites.
7So when that man made fun of Israel, Jonathan killed him. Jonathan was Shimea’s son. Shimea was David’s brother.
8These Philistine men were descendants of the Rephaites from the town of Gath. David and his servants killed those giants.
