1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass at the return of
the year, at the time of the going forth of kings
to war, that Joab gathered the whole force of the
army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and
besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabba and
destroyed it. 2 And David took the
crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found
to be a talent of gold, and on it were precious
stones; and it was placed on the head of David: and
he brought out the spoils of the city which were very
great. 3 And he brought out the people
that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and
cut them with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus
David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned
to Jerusalem.
4 And it came to pass afterward that
there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite
smote Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
5 And there
was war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the
son of Jair smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of
his spear was as a weavers' beam.
6 And there was again war in Geth, and
there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers
and toes were six on each hand and foot, four and
twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
7 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan
the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him.
8 These were born to Rapha in Geth;
all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of
his servants.
