1 Chronicles 20

American Standard Version

1And it cameH935 to pass, at the timeH6256 of the return of the yearH8141, at the timeH6256 when kingsH4428 goH3318 outto battle, that JoabH3097 led forthH3318 the armyH6635, and wasted the country of the children of AmmonH5983, and cameH935 and besieged RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarried at JerusalemH3389. And JoabH3097 smote RabbahH7237, and overthrew it. 2And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the crownH5850 of their kingH4428 from off his headH7218, and foundH4672 it to weigh a talentH3603 of goldH2091, and there wereH1961 preciousH3368 stonesH68 in it; and it wasH1961 set upon David’s headH7218: and he broughtH3318 forthH3318 the spoilH7998 of the cityH5892, exceeding muchH7235. 3And he broughtH3318 forthH3318 the peopleH5971 that were therein, and cut them with sawsH4050, and with harrows of ironH1270, and with axes. And thusH3651 did DavidH1732 unto all the citiesH5892 of the children of AmmonH5983. And DavidH1732 and all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.

4And it came to pass after this, that there arose warH4421 at GezerH1507 with the PhilistinesH6430: thenH227 SibbecaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843 slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they wereH1961 subduedH3665. 5And there wasH1961 againH5750 warH4421 with the PhilistinesH6430; and ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of Jair slew Lahmi the brotherH251 of GoliathH1555 the GittiteH1663, the staff of whose spearH2595 wasH1961 like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500. 6And there wasH1961 againH5750 warH4421 at GathH1661, where wasH1961 a manH376 of great stature, whose fingersH676 and toes wereH1961 fourH702 and twentyH6242, sixH8337 on each hand, and sixH8337 on each foot; and he alsoH1571 wasH1961 bornH3205 unto the giant. 7And when he defied IsraelH3478, JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of ShimeaH8092 David’s brotherH251 slew him. 8These were bornH3205 unto the giant in GathH1661; and they fellH5307 by the handH3027 of DavidH1732, and by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650.
