1And it came to pass, that after <06256> the year <08141> was expired <08666>_, at the time <06256> that kings <04428> go out <03318> (8800) [to battle], Joab <03097> led forth <05090> (8799) the power <02428> of the army <06635>_, and wasted <07843> (8686) the country <0776> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>_, and came <0935> (8799) and besieged <06696> (8799) Rabbah <07237>_. But David <01732> tarried <03427> (8802) at Jerusalem <03389>_. And Joab <03097> smote <05221> (8686) Rabbah <07237>_, and destroyed <02040> (8799) it. {after...: Heb. at the return of the year}
2And David <01732> took <03947> (8799) the crown <05850> of their king <04428> from off his head <07218>_, and found <04672> (8799) it to weigh <04948> a talent <03603> of gold <02091>_, and [there were] precious <03368> stones <068> in it; and it was set upon David's <01732> head <07218>_: and he brought <03318> (8689) also exceeding <03966> much <07235> (8687) spoil <07998> out of the city <05892>_. {to weigh: Heb. the weight of}
3And he brought out <03318> (8689) the people <05971> that [were] in it, and cut <07787> (8799) [them] with saws <04050>_, and with harrows <02757> of iron <01270>_, and with axes <04050>_. Even so dealt <06213> (8799) David <01732> with all the cities <05892> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>_. And David <01732> and all the people <05971> returned <07725> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>_.
4And it came to pass after this <0310>_, that there arose <05975> (8799) war <04421> at Gezer <01507> with the Philistines <06430>_; at which time <0227> Sibbechai <05444> the Hushathite <02843> slew <05221> (8689) Sippai <05598>_, [that was] of the children <03211> of the giant <07497>_: and they were subdued <03665> (8735)_. {arose: or, continued: Heb. stood} {Gezer: also called, Gob} {Sippai: also called, Saph} {the giant: or, Rapha}
5And there was war <04421> again with the Philistines <06430>_; and Elhanan <0445> the son <01121> of Jair <03265> slew <05221> (8686) Lahmi <03902> the brother <0251> of Goliath <01555> the Gittite <01663>_, whose spear <02595> staff <06086> [was] like a weaver's <0707> (8802) beam <04500>_. {Jair: also called, Jaareoregim}
6And yet again there was war <04421> at Gath <01661>_, where was a man <0376> of [great] stature <04060>_, whose fingers <0676> and toes <0676> [were] four <0702> and twenty <06242>_, six <08337> [on each hand], and six <08337> [on each foot]: and he also was the son <03205> (8738) of the giant <07497>_. {great...: Heb. measure} {the son...: Heb. born to the giant, or, Rapha}
7But when he defied <02778> (8762) Israel <03478>_, Jonathan <03083> the son <01121> of Shimea <08092> David's <01732> brother <0251> slew <05221> (8686) him. {defied: or, reproached} {Shimea: also called Shammah}
8These <0411> were born <03205> (8738) unto the giant <07497> in Gath <01661>_; and they fell <05307> (8799) by the hand <03027> of David <01732>_, and by the hand <03027> of his servants <05650>_.
