1Ch 20:1Then at the time of the turn of the year, at the time when kings go forth to battle, Joab led the army and devastated the land of the children of Ammon. And he went and besieged Rabbah while David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.
1Ch 20:2And David took the crown of their king from off his head and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was put upon David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
1Ch 20:3And he brought out the people who were in it and hewed them with saws and iron cutting tools and axes, and thus did David do to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
1Ch 20:4Then after this a war arose with the Philistines at Gezer; and Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, one of the children of the giants; and they were subdued.
1Ch 20:5And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
1Ch 20:6And again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all; and he also had been born to the giant.
1Ch 20:7And he defied Israel; and Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, slew him.
1Ch 20:8These had been born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hands of his servants.
