20*And ait 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 bJoab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it. 2*And David ctook 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. 3And he brought out the people that were in it, and dcut 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.

4eAnd it came to pass after this, that there ||arose war at f||Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew ||Sippai, that was of the children of ||the giant: and they were subdued. 5And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of ||Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam. 6And yet again there was war at Gath, where was †a man of great stature, 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. 7But when he ||defied Israel, Jonathan the son of ||Shimea David’s brother slew him. 8These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
