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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.

05 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.
06 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.
07 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of
Shimea David's brother slew him.
08 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and
they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand
of his servants.
