The First Book of Chronicles (WEB)
20: 1It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that
Joab led forth 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. 20:2David 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 on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city,
exceeding much. 20:3He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut them with saws, and
with harrows of iron, and with axes. Thus did David to all the cities of the children of Ammon.
David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. 20:4It happened after this, that there arose war at
Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and
they were subdued. 20:5There was again 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.
20:6There was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were
twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant. 20:7When he
defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother killed him. 20:8These were born to the
giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
