Bible, King James Version
1_Chronicles
1Chr.20
[1] 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.
[2] 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.
[3] 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.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea
David's brother slew him.
[8] These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell
by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
