And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when the kings go out to battle, that Yo᾽av led forth the power of the army, and ravaged the country of the children of ῾Ammon, and came and besieged Rabba. But David remained at Yerushalayim. And Yo᾽av smote Rabba, and destroyed it.

And it was, at the return of the (day of the) year of the kings' having gone out [to war against Israel] that Yoav led the army, and he destroyed the land of the children of Ammon, and he came and besieged Rabbah; but David stayed in Jerusalem. And Yoav smote Rabbah and destroyed it.

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 also brought very much spoil out of the city.

And David took the crown of Malkam [(Molech, the abomination of Ammon)] off its head (it was found to weigh a talent of gold and in it was a precious stone), and [(its idolatrous status having been nullified by Ittai the Gittite)], it was (set) on David's head. And he brought out the spoils of the city in great abundance.

And he brought out the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so did David deal with all the cities of the children of ῾Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Yerushalayim.

And the people in it he took out and put them under saws and under sledges of iron and under axes. And thus did David do with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all of the people returned to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass after this that there arose war at Gezer with the Pelishtim; at which time Sibbekhay the Ḥushatite slew Sippay, that was of the children of the Rafa; and they were subdued.

And it was after this that war broke out in Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sivchai the Chushathite smote Sippai, of those begotten by the Refaim, and they were humbled.

And there was war again with the Pelishtim; and Elĥanan the son of Ya᾽ir slew Laĥmi the brother of Golyat the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

And there was another war with the Philistines, in which Elchanan the son of Yair smote Lachmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the haft of whose spear was as (thick as) a weaver's beam.

And yet again there was war at Gat, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty four, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the Rafa.

And there was anther war in Gath where there was a man of great stature, his fingers [(the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet)] being six and six [(i.e., six on each of the four limbs)], twenty-four (all together). And he, too, had been born to the Raphah.

And he insulted Yisra᾽el, so Yehonatan the son of Shim῾a, David’s brother, slew him.

And he taunted Israel. And he was smitten by Jonathan the son of Shima, the brother of David.

These were born to the Rafa in Gat; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

These were born to the Raphah in Gath. And they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
