1 Chronicles
20:1 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that
kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted
the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But
David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
20:2 And 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; and it
was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out
of the city.
20:3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws,
and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all
the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people
returned to Jerusalem.
20:4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the
Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that
was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
20:5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of
Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff
was like a weaver's beam.
20:6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature,
whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six
on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.
20:7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother
slew him.
20:8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of
David, and by the hand of his servants.
