1 Chronicles 20 (New American Standard)
View In My BibleWar with Philistine Giants
1 1Then it happened ain the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And 2Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it. 2 3David took the crown of btheir king from his head, and he found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount. 3 He brought out the people who were in it, 4and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. 4 5Now it came about after this, that war cbroke out at dGezer with the Philistines ; then Sibbecai the Hushathite ekilled Sippai, one of the descendants of the fgiants, and they were subdued. 5 And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of 6Jair gkilled Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the 7shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 6 Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants. 7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, hkilled him. 8 These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
