I Chronicles 20
20
Rabbah Is Conquered
1It#2 Sam. 11:1 happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But #2 Sam. 11:2—12:25David stayed at Jerusalem. And #2 Sam. 12:26Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it. 2Then David #2 Sam. 12:30, 31took their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David’s head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance. 3And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. So David did to all the cities of the people of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Philistine Giants Destroyed
4Now it happened afterward #2 Sam. 21:18that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time #1 Chr. 11:29Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of the giant. And they were subdued.
5Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s #1 Sam. 17:7; 1 Chr. 11:23beam.
6Yet again #1 Sam. 5:8; 2 Sam. 21:20there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant. 7So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
