1Ch 20:1

1Ch 20:1Then it happened [fn]in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

1Ch 20:2

1Ch 20:2David took the crown of [fn]their king from his head, and he found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.

1Ch 20:3

1Ch 20:3He brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

1Ch 20:4

1Ch 20:4Now it came about after this, that war [fn]broke out at [fn]Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite [fn]killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the [fn]giants, and they were subdued.

1Ch 20:5

1Ch 20:5And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair [fn]killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

1Ch 20:6

1Ch 20:6Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants.

1Ch 20:7When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, [fn]killed him.
