1 In|strong="H3427" the|strong="H0853" spring|strong="H8666", Joab|strong="H3097" led|strong="H3318" the|strong="H0853" army|strong="H6635" of|strong="H1121" Israel out|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0935" battle|strong="H6635". That|strong="H8141" was|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0853" time|strong="H6256" of|strong="H1121" year|strong="H8141" when|strong="H1961" kings|strong="H4428" went|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0935" battle|strong="H6635", but|strong="H1961" David|strong="H1732" stayed|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" Jerusalem|strong="H3389". The|strong="H0853" army|strong="H6635" of|strong="H1121" Israel went|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" country|strong="H0776" of|strong="H1121" Ammon|strong="H5983" and|strong="H1121" destroyed|strong="H7843" it|strong="H1961". Then|strong="H1961" they|strong="H0935" went|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" city of|strong="H1121" Rabbah|strong="H7237". The|strong="H0853" army|strong="H6635" camped around the|strong="H0853" city—they|strong="H0935" stayed|strong="H3427" there|strong="H1961" to|strong="H0935" keep|strong="H0935" people|strong="H1121" from|strong="H0935" going|strong="H3318" in|strong="H3427" or|strong="H1121" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" city. Joab|strong="H3097" and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" army|strong="H6635" of|strong="H1121" Israel fought against|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" city of|strong="H1121" Rabbah|strong="H7237" until they|strong="H0935" destroyed|strong="H7843" it|strong="H1961".
2 David|strong="H1732" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H0853" crown|strong="H5850" from|strong="H3318" their|strong="H3947" king’s|strong="H4428" head|strong="H7218". That|strong="H1732" gold|strong="H2091" crown|strong="H5850" weighed|strong="H4948" about|strong="H1961" 75 pounds and|strong="H4428" there|strong="H1961" were|strong="H1961" valuable|strong="H3368" stones|strong="H0068" in|strong="H5921" it|strong="H5921". The|strong="H0853" crown|strong="H5850" was|strong="H1961" put|strong="H3318" on|strong="H5921" David’s|strong="H1732" head|strong="H7218". Then|strong="H1961" David|strong="H1732" had|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" great|strong="H3966" many|strong="H7235" valuable|strong="H3368" things|strong="H1961" brought|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H0853" city|strong="H5892" of|strong="H4428" Rabbah.
3 He|strong="H0834" brought|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" in|strong="H1121" Rabbah and|strong="H1121" forced them|strong="H0853" to|strong="H7725" work with|strong="H1732" saws|strong="H4050", iron|strong="H1270" picks|strong="H2757", and|strong="H1121" axes|strong="H4050". He|strong="H0834" did|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" same|strong="H3651" thing|strong="H3651" to|strong="H7725" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" cities|strong="H5892" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" Ammonites|strong="H5983". Then|strong="H3318" David|strong="H1732" and|strong="H1121" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" army|strong="H5971" went|strong="H3318" back|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" Jerusalem|strong="H3389".
4 Later|strong="H0310", the|strong="H0853" Israelites went|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" war|strong="H4421" with|strong="H5973" the|strong="H0853" Philistines|strong="H6430" at|strong="H4421" the|strong="H0853" town of|strong="H3211" Gezer|strong="H1507". At|strong="H4421" that|strong="H1961" time|strong="H0227" Sibbecai|strong="H5444" from|strong="H1961" Hushah killed|strong="H5221" Sippai|strong="H5598", who|strong="H3211" was|strong="H1961" one|strong="H1961" of|strong="H3211" the|strong="H0853" sons of|strong="H3211" the|strong="H0853" giants. So|strong="H1961" those|strong="H0853" Philistines|strong="H6430" became|strong="H1961" like|strong="H1961" slaves to|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0853" Israelites.
5 Another|strong="H0251" time|strong="H1961" when|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0853" Israelites fought|strong="H0854" against|strong="H0854" the|strong="H0853" Philistines|strong="H6430", Elhanan|strong="H0445" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Jair|strong="H3265" killed|strong="H5221" Lahmi|strong="H3902". Lahmi|strong="H3902" was|strong="H1961" Goliath’s brother|strong="H0251". Goliath|strong="H1555" was|strong="H1961" from|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" town of|strong="H1121" Gath|strong="H1663". Lahmi’s spear|strong="H2595" was|strong="H1961" very big and|strong="H1121" heavy. It|strong="H1961" was|strong="H1961" like|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0853" large pole on|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" loom.
6 Later|strong="H1961", the|strong="H3205" Israelites fought another|strong="H5750" war|strong="H4421" with|strong="H0376" the|strong="H3205" Philistines at|strong="H4421" the|strong="H3205" town of|strong="H0376" Gath|strong="H1661". In|strong="H0376" this|strong="H1931" town there|strong="H1961" was|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" very|strong="H1571" large man|strong="H0376". He|strong="H1931" had|strong="H1961" 24 fingers|strong="H0676" and|strong="H0376" toes|strong="H0676". He|strong="H1931" had|strong="H1961" six|strong="H8337" fingers|strong="H0676" on|strong="H1961" each|strong="H0376" hand and|strong="H0376" six|strong="H8337" toes|strong="H0676" on|strong="H1961" each|strong="H0376" foot. He|strong="H1931" also|strong="H1571" was|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" son of|strong="H0376" the|strong="H3205" giants.
7 So|strong="H0853" when|strong="H1121" that|strong="H1732" man|strong="H1121" made|strong="H5221" fun of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478", Jonathan|strong="H3083" killed|strong="H5221" him|strong="H0853". Jonathan|strong="H3083" was|strong="H3478" Shimea’s son|strong="H1121". Shimea|strong="H8092" was|strong="H3478" David’s|strong="H1732" brother|strong="H0251".
8 These|strong="H0411" Philistine men|strong="H5650" were|strong="H5650" sons|strong="H3205" of|strong="H3205" the|strong="H3205" giants from|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3205" town of|strong="H3205" Gath|strong="H1661". David|strong="H1732" and|strong="H3027" his|strong="H1732" servants|strong="H5650" killed|strong="H5307" those|strong="H0411" giants.
