The First Book of The Chronicles

1Ch 20:1 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Jo´-ab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rab´-bah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Jo´-ab smote Rab´-bah, and destroyed it.

1Ch 20:2 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 brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.

1Ch 20:3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut 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.

1Ch 20:4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Ge´-zer with the Phi-lis´-tines; at which time Sib´be-chai the Hu´-shath-ite slew Sip´pa´-i, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.

1Ch 20:5 And there was war again with the Phi-lis´-tines; and El-ha´-nan the son of Ja´-ir slew Lah´-mi the brother of Go-li´-ath the Git´-tite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam.

1Ch 20:6 And 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.

1Ch 20:7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shim´-e-a David’s brother slew him.

1Ch 20:8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
