Rabas ieņemšana
(2Sam 11:12Sam 12:26–31)1 Nākamā gada pavasarī, ap to laiku, kad ķēniņi mēdz iet karā, Joābs veda karaspēku un nopostīja amoniešu zemi. Viņš gāja un aplenca Rabu. Dāvids vēl bija Jeruzālemē, bet Joābs sakāva un nopostīja Rabu. 2 Dāvids noņēma kroni no Milkoma galvas – tas svēra vienu talantu zelta, un tajā bija dārgakmens, un to uzlika galvā Dāvidam. No šīs pilsētas viņš pārveda ļoti bagātīgu laupījumu. 3 Viņš lika izvest turienes ļaudis, lika tiem zāģēt un strādāt ar dzelzs kaltiem un zāģiem. Tā Dāvids darīja ar visām amoniešu pilsētām. Pēc tam Dāvids un visi ļaudis atgriezās Jeruzālemē.
Varoņdarbi karos ar filistiešiem
(2Sam 21:15–22)4 Pēc tam izcēlās karš ar Gezeras filistiešiem. Toreiz hušātietis Sibehajs kāva Safu, kurš bija no milžiem, – tā viņi tika pazemoti. 5 Un notika vēl viens karš ar filistiešiem – Elhānāns, Jāīra dēls, kāva gatieti Lahmī, Goliāta brāli, kura šķēpa kāts bija kā audēja riestava.
6 Un bija vēl viens karš Gatā, tur bija kāds liela auguma vīrs, kam bija pa sešiem pirkstiem – kopā divdesmit četri! Arī viņš bija milzis. 7 Kad viņš izsmēja Israēlu, Dāvida brāļa dēls Jonatāns, Šimas dēls, viņu nokāva.
8 Šie bija Gatas milži, un tie krita no Dāvida un viņa kalpu rokas.
David Captures Rabbah
(2 Samuel 12.26-31)1 The following spring, at the time of the year when kings usually go to war, Joab led out the army and invaded the land of Ammon; King David, however, stayed in Jerusalem. They besieged the city of Rabbah, attacked it, and destroyed it. 2 The Ammonite idol Molech had a gold crown which weighed about seventy-five pounds. In it there was a jewel, which David took and put in his own crown. He also took a large amount of loot from the city. 3 He took the people of the city and put them to work with saws, iron hoes, and axes. He did the same to the people of all the other towns of Ammon. Then he and his men returned to Jerusalem.
Battles against Philistine Giants
(2 Samuel 21.15-22)4 Later on, war broke out again with the Philistines at Gezer. This was when Sibbecai from Hushah killed a giant named Sippai, and the Philistines were defeated.
5 There was another battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath from Gath, whose spear had a shaft as thick as the bar on a weaver's loom.
6 Another battle took place at Gath, where there was a giant with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was a descendant of the ancient giants. 7 He defied the Israelites, and Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shammah, killed him.
8 These three, who were killed by David and his men, were descendants of the giants at Gath.
