LEB - I Chronicles - 20

20:1  And it happened that ⌞in the spring time of year⌟, the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led the troops of the army and destroyed the land of the ⌞Ammonites⌟. And he came and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.

20:2  And David took the crown of their king from his head and found it to weigh a talent of gold. And in it was a precious stone. Then it was placed upon the head of David. And he brought out the booty of the city, a large amount.

20:3  And the people who were in it he brought out, and ⌞he set them to work with saws and iron implements and axes⌟. Thus David did to all the cities of the ⌞Ammonites⌟. Then David returned, and all the nation went with him.

20:4  And after this there arose a war in Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaim. And they were subdued.

20:5  And again there was war with the Philistines. And Elhanan son of Jair struck down Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

20:6  And again there was war in Gath. And there was a ⌞very tall⌟ man there, and ⌞he had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all⌟. He himself was also a descendant of the Rephaim.

20:7  And he taunted Israel, but Jehonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, struck him down.

20:8  These were born to the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
