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.

1 EN ná verloop van 'n jaar, teen die tyd dat die konings uittrek, het Joab die leërmag aangevoer en die land van die kinders van Ammon verwoes; hy het ook gekom en Rabba beleër, terwyl Dawid in Jerusalem gebly het. En Joab het Rabba verslaan en dit afgebreek.
2 En Dawid het die kroon van Milkom van sy hoof afgeneem en bevind dat die gewig daarvan 'n talent goud was; en daarin was 'n kosbare steen, en dit het op die hoof van Dawid gekom; en hy het 'n baie groot buit van die stad uitgebring.
3 Hy het ook die bevolking wat daarin was, uitgebring en hulle met die saag laat saag, en met ysterpenne en met byle laat werk; en so het Dawid gedoen met al die stede van die kinders van Ammon. Toe het Dawid met al die manskappe na Jerusalem teruggegaan.
4 EN daarna het daar by Geser oorlog ontstaan met die Filistyne; toe het Síbbegai, die Husatiet, Síppai, uit die kinders van die Refaïete verslaan, sodat hulle onderworpe geraak het.
5 En daar was weer oorlog met die Filistyne; en Élhanan, die seun van Jaïr, het Lagmi, die broer van Góliat, die Gittiet, wie se spiessteel soos 'n wewersbalk was, verslaan.
6 En daar was weer oorlog by Gat, en daar was 'n baie lang man met ses vingers aan elke hand en voet, vier-en-twintig; en hy was ook 'n afstammeling van die Refaïete.
7 En hy het Israel uitgedaag, maar Jónatan, die seun van Símea, die broer van Dawid, het hom verslaan.
8 Hulle was afstammelinge van die Refaïete in Gat, en hulle het geval deur die hand van Dawid en deur die hand van sy dienaars.
