1And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed 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.
2And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
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.
3And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with alibis people 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.
4After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them.
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.
5Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff 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.
6There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.
6καὶ ἐγένετο ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γέθ, καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ ὑπερμεγέθης, καὶ δάκτυλοι αὐτοῦ ἓξ καὶ ἕξ, εἰκοσιτέσσαρες, καὶ οὗτος ἦν ἀπόγονος γιγάντων.
7He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him. These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
7καὶ ὠνείδισε τὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Σαμαὰ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυίδ.
