1In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐπιόντι ἔτει ἐν τῇ ἐξόδῳ τῶν βασιλέων καὶ ἤγαγεν Ἰωὰβ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τῆς στρατιᾶς, καὶ ἔφθειραν τὴν χώραν υἱῶν Ἀμμών· καὶ ἦλθε καὶ περιεκάθισε τὴν Ραββά· καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ἰωὰβ τὴν Ραββὰ καὶ κατέσκαψεν αὐτήν.
2Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
2καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τὸν στέφανον Μολχὸμ τοῦ βασιλέως αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὑρέθη ὁ σταθμὸς αὐτοῦ τάλαντον χρυσίου, καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ λίθος τίμιος, καὶ ἦν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν Δαυίδ· καὶ σκῦλα τῆς πόλεως ἐξήνεγκε πολλὰ σφόδρα.
3David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
3καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν ἐν αὐτῇ ἐξήγαγε καὶ διέπρισε πρίοσι καὶ ἐν σκεπάρνοις σιδηροῖς καὶ ἐν διασχίζουσι· καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ τοῖς πᾶσιν υἱοῖς Ἀμμών. καὶ ἀνέστρεψε Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
4Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
4καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐγένετο ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γαζὲρ μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων. τότε ἐπάταξε Σοβοχαὶ ὁ Οὐσαθὶ τὸν Σαφοὺ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν γιγάντων, καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτόν.
5Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
5καὶ ἐγένετο ἔτι πόλεμος μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων. καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ἐλλανὰν υἱὸς Ἰαΐρ τὸν Λαχμὶ ἀδελφὸν Γολιὰθ τοῦ Γεθθαίου, καὶ ξύλον δόρατος αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀντίον ὑφαινόντων.
6And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
6καὶ ἐγένετο ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γέθ, καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ ὑπερμεγέθης, καὶ δάκτυλοι αὐτοῦ ἓξ καὶ ἕξ, εἰκοσιτέσσαρες, καὶ οὗτος ἦν ἀπόγονος γιγάντων.
7and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
7καὶ ὠνείδισε τὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Σαμαὰ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυίδ.
8So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
8οὗτοι ἐγένοντο Ραφὰ ἐν Γέθ· πάντες ἦσαν τέσσαρες γίγαντες, καὶ ἔπεσον ἐν χειρὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ παίδων αὐτοῦ.
