[1] At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it. [2] David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold,ⓘ and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city. [3] He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. [4] After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued. [5] Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. [6] There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant. [7] When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. [8] These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

[1] And it came to pass, that after H6256 the year H8141§ was expired, H8666 at the time H6256 that kings H4428 go out H3318 (QalInf) to battle, Joab H3097 led forth H5090 (QalImpf) the power H2428 of the army, H6635 and wasted H7843 (HiphImpf) the country H776 of the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and came H935 (QalImpf) and besieged H6696 (QalImpf) Rabbah. H7237 But David H1732 tarried H3427 (QalActPtc) at Jerusalem. H3389 And Joab H3097 smote H5221 (HiphImpf) Rabbah, H7237 and destroyed H2040 (QalImpf) it. [2] And David H1732 took H3947 (QalImpf) the crown H5850 of their king H4428 from off his head, H7218 and found H4672 (QalImpf) it to weigh H4948§ a talent H3603 of gold, H2091 and there were precious H3368 stones H68 in it; and it was set upon David’s H1732 head: H7218 and he brought H3318 (HiphPerf) also exceeding H3966 much H7235 (HiphInf) spoil H7998 out of the city. H5892 [3] And he brought out H3318 (HiphPerf) the people H5971 that were in it, and cut H7787 (QalImpf) them with saws, H4050 and with harrows H2757 of iron, H1270 and with axes. H4050 Even so dealt H6213 (QalImpf) David H1732 with all the cities H5892 of the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983 And David H1732 and all the people H5971 returned H7725 (QalImpf) to Jerusalem. H3389 [4] And it came to pass after this, H310 that there arose H5975 (QalImpf)§ war H4421 at Gezer H1507§ with the Philistines; H6430 at which time H227 Sibbechai H5444 the Hushathite H2843 slew H5221 (HiphPerf) Sippai, H5598 that was of the children H3211 of the giant: H7497§ and they were subdued. H3665 (NiphImpf) [5] And there was war H4421 again with the Philistines; H6430 and Elhanan H445 the son H1121 of Jair H3265ⓘ slew H5221 (HiphImpf) Lahmi H3902 the brother H251 of Goliath H1555 the Gittite, H1663 whose spear H2595 staff H6086 was like a weaver’s H707 (QalActPtc) beam. H4500 [6] And yet again there was war H4421 at Gath, H1661 where was a man H376 of great stature,§ H4060 whose fingers H676 and toes H676 were four H702 and twenty, H6242 six H8337 on each hand, and six H8337 on each foot: and he also was the son H3205 (NiphPerf) of the giant. H7497§ [7] But when he defied H2778 (PielImpf)§ Israel, H3478 Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Shimea H8092ⓘ David’s H1732 brother H251 slew H5221 (HiphImpf) him. [8] These H411 were born H3205 (NiphPerf) unto the giant H7497 in Gath; H1661 and they fell H5307 (QalImpf) by the hand H3027 of David, H1732 and by the hand H3027 of his servants. H5650
