1 L'année suivante, au temps où les rois se mettaient en campagne, Joab conduisit le gros de l'armée; il ravagea le pays des enfants d'Ammon et vint assiéger Rabba, tandis que David restait à Jérusalem. Or Joab battit Rabba et la détruisit.
1
0 And it came to pass, at the time of eshuvat hashanah, at the time that melachim go out to battle, Yoav led forth the chayl hatzava, and laid waste the eretz Bnei Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But Dovid tarried at Yerushalayim. And Yoav struck Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 Et David prit la couronne de dessus la tête de leur roi, et la trouva du poids d'un talent d'or; et il y avait des pierres précieuses. On la mit sur la tête de David, qui emmena de la ville un fort grand butin.
2
And Dovid took the ateret of their melech from off his rosh, and found it to weigh a talent of zahav, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon rosh Dovid; and he brought also exceeding much plunder out of the Ir.
3 Il fit sortir aussi les habitants et les mit en pièces avec des scies, des herses de fer et des faux. David traita de même toutes les villes des enfants d'Ammon. Puis David retourna à Jérusalem avec tout le peuple.
3
And he brought out the people that were in it, and consigned them to saws, and to picks of barzel (iron), and to axes. Even so dealt Dovid with all the towns of the Bnei Ammon. And Dovid and kol HaAm returned to Yerushalayim.
4 Après cela la guerre continua à Guézer avec les Philistins. Alors Sibbécaï, le Hushathite, tua Sippaï, l'un des enfants de Rapha; et ils furent humiliés.
4
And it came to pass after this, that there arose milchamah at Gezer with the Pelishtim (Philistines); at which time Sibbechai the Chushati slaughtered Sippai, that was of the yeledim of the Refa’im, and they were subdued.
5 Il y eut encore guerre avec les Philistins. Et Elchanan, fils de Jaïr, tua Lachmi, frère de Goliath, le Guitthien, qui avait une lance dont le bois était comme une ensuble de tisserand.
5
And there was milchamah again with the Pelishtim (Philistines); and Elchanan ben Yair slaughtered Lachmi the brother of Golyat (Goliath) the Gitti, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Il y eut encore une autre guerre, à Gath, où se trouva un homme de haute taille, qui avait six doigts à chaque main et à chaque pied, vingt-quatre en tout, et qui était aussi de la race de Rapha.
6
And yet again there was milchamah at Gat, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each yad, and six on each foot and he also was of Rapha descent.
7 Il outragea Israël; mais Jonathan, fils de Shimea, frère de David, le tua.
7
But when he defied Yisroel, Yehonatan ben Shimea achi Dovid slaughtered him.
8 Ceux-là étaient nés à Gath, de la race de Rapha, et ils périrent de la main de David, et de la main de ses serviteurs.
8
These were from the Rapha descended in Gat; and they fell by the yad of Dovid, and by the yad of his avadim.
