Dual Panel1In the spring <08141> <08666>, at the time <06256> when kings <04428> normally conduct <03318> wars, Joab <03097> led <05090> the army <02426> into battle <06635> and devastated <07843> the land <0776> of the Ammonites <05983> <01121>. He went <0935> and besieged <06696> Rabbah <07237>, while David <01732> stayed <03427> in Jerusalem <03389>. Joab <03097> defeated <05221> Rabbah <07237> and tore <02040> it down <02040>.
2David <01732> took <03947> the crown <05850> from <05921> the head <07218> of their king <04428> and wore <04672> it (its weight <04948> was a talent <03603> of gold <02091> and it was set <01961> with <05921> precious <03368> stones <068>). He <01732> took <03318> a large <03966> <07235> amount of plunder <07998> from the city <05892>.
3He removed <03318> the city’s residents <05971> and made them do hard labor <07787> with saws <04050>, iron <01270> picks <02757>, and axes <04050>. This was his <01732> policy <06213> <03651> with all <03605> the Ammonite <05983> <01121> cities <05892>. Then David <01732> and all <03605> the army <05971> returned <07725> to Jerusalem <03389>.
4Later <0310> there was <01961> a battle <04421> <05975> with <05973> the Philistines <06430> in Gezer <01507>. At that time <0227> Sibbekai <05444> the Hushathite <02843> killed <05221> Sippai <05598>, one of the descendants <03211> of the Rephaim <07497>, and the Philistines were subdued <03665>.
5There was <01961> another <05750> battle <04421> with <0854> the Philistines <06430> in which Elhanan <0445> son <01121> of Jair <03265> the Bethlehemite <03902> killed <05221> the brother <0251> of Goliath <01555> the Gittite <01663>, whose spear <02595> had a shaft <06086> as big as the crossbeam <04500> of a weaver’s <0707> loom.
6In a battle <04421> in Gath <01661> there was <01961> a large <04060> man <0376> who had six <08337> fingers <0676> on each hand and six <08337> toes on each foot– twenty-four <0702> <06242> in all! He too <01571> was a descendant <03205> of Rapha <07497>.
7When he taunted <02778> Israel <03478>, Jonathan <03083> son <01121> of Shimea <08092>, David’s <01732> brother <0251>, killed <05221> him.
8These <0411> were the descendants <03205> of Rapha <07497> who lived in Gath <01661>; they were killed <05307> by the hand <03027> of David <01732> and his soldiers <05650>.
