Holy Bible
(King James Version)
First
Chronicles : Chapter 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 Sib-be-chai the Hu-sha-thite slew Sip-pa-i,
that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5. And there was war again with the Philistines; and El-ha-nan the son
of Ja-ir slew Lahmi the brother of Go-li-ath 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
statute, 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 Shim-e-a 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.
