1 Chronicles 20

Revised Geneva Translation

20 And after the year had expired, in the time that kings go out to battle, Joab carried out the strength of the army and destroyed the country of the children of Ammon and came and besieged Rabbah (though David remained in Jerusalem). And Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.

² Then David took the crown of their king from off his head and found it to be the weight of a talent of gold, with precious stones in it. And it was set on David’s head. And he brought away a large amount of plunder from the city.

³ And he carried away the people who were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. David did so with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people came back to Jerusalem.

⁴ And also after this, there arose war with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the children of Haraphah, and they were subdued.

⁵ And there was yet another battle with the Philistines. And Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam.

⁶ And yet again, there was a battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature. And he had six fingers and toes (twenty-four in all), and was also the son of Haraphah.

⁷ And when he reviled Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David’s brother killed him.

⁸ These were born to Haraphah at Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hands of his servants.
