1 Chronicles 20:1-8

The Capture of Rabbah

1In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, Joab led out the armed forces. He laid waste the land of the Ammonites and went to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and left it in ruins. 2David took the crown from the head of their king20:2 Or of Milkom, that is, Molek—its weight was found to be a talent20:2 That is, about 75 pounds or about 34 kilograms of gold, and it was set with precious stones—and it was placed on David’s head. He took a great quantity of plunder from the city 3and brought out the people who were there, consigning them to labor with saws and with iron picks and axes. David did this to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and his entire army returned to Jerusalem.

War With the Philistines

4In the course of time, war broke out with the Philistines, at Gezer. At that time Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaites, and the Philistines were subjugated.

5In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.

6In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. 7When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

8These were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.

打败非利士巨人

4这事以后,以色列人又在基色非利士人交战。户沙西比该杀死一个叫细派的巨人后裔,非利士人被征服。 5后来,以色列人又与非利士人交战,雅珥的儿子伊勒哈难杀了迦特歌利亚的兄弟拉哈米拉哈米的枪杆粗如织布机的轴。 6此后,在迦特又起了战事,那里有个身材高大的人,是巨人的后代。他每只手脚各有六个手指和脚趾,共二十四个手指和脚趾。 7他向以色列人骂阵,大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单杀了他。 8这三个迦特巨人的后裔都死在了大卫和他的部下手里。
