1And it came to pass at the return of the year, at thetime of the going forth of kingsto war, that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the childrenof Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyedit. 2And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it wasfoundto be a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it wasplaced on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the citywhich were very great. 3And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, andcut them with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon.And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem. 4And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer:then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low. 5And therewas war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother ofGoliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spearwas as a weavers' beam. 6And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingersand toes were six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants. 7And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him. 8These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David,and by the hand of his servants.
