| 1 Εν δε τω ακολουθω ετει, καθ' ον καιρον εκστρατευουσιν οι βασιλεις, ο Ιωαβ εξεκινησε πασαν την δυναμιν του στρατευματος και εφθειρε την γην των υιων Αμμων, και ελθων επολιορκησε την Ραββα? ο δε Δαβιδ εμεινεν εν Ιερουσαλημ. Και επαταξεν ο Ιωαβ την Ραββα και κατεστρεψεν αυτην. | 1 In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, Joab led out the army, and ravaged the country of the Ammonites, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it. |
| 2 Και ελαβεν ο Δαβιδ τον στεφανον του βασιλεως αυτων απο της κεφαλης αυτου? και ευρεθη το βαρος αυτου εν ταλαντον χρυσιου? και ησαν επ' αυτου λιθοι πολυτιμοι και ετεθη επι την κεφαλης του Δαβιδ? και λαφυρα της πολεως εξεφερε πολλα σφοδρα. | 2 And David took the crown of their king from his head; he found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount. |
| 3 Και τον λαον τον εν αυτη εξηγαγε, και εκοψεν αυτους με πριονας και με τριβολους σιδηρους και με πελεκεις. Και ουτως εκαμεν ο Δαβιδ εις πασας τας πολεις των υιων Αμμων. Τοτε επεστρεψεν ο Δαβιδ και πας ο λαος εις Ιερουσαλημ. | 3 And he brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and axes; and thus David did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. |
| 4 Μετα δε ταυτα συνεκροτηθη πολεμος εν Γεζερ μετα των Φιλισταιων? τοτε επαταξεν ο Σιββεχαι ο Χουσαθιτης τον Σιφφαι, εκ των τεκνων του Ραφα? και κατετροπωθησαν. | 4 And after this there arose war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, who was one of the descendants of the giants; and the Philistines were subdued. |
| 5 Και παλιν εγεινε πολεμος μετα των Φιλισταιων? και επαταξεν ο Ελχαναν ο υιος του Ιαειρ τον Λααμει, αδελφον του Γολιαθ του Γετθαιου, και το ξυλον της λογχης αυτου ητο ως αντιον υφαντου. | 5 And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. |
| 6 Και παλιν εγεινε πολεμος εν Γαθ, οπου ητο ανηρ υπερμεγεθης, και οι δακτυλοι αυτου ησαν εξ και εξ, εικοσιτεσσαρες, και ουτος ετι ητο εκ της γενεας του Ραφα. | 6 And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was descended from the giants. |
| 7 Και ωνειδισε τον Ισραηλ, και Ιωναθαν ο υιος του Σαμαα, αδελφου του Δαβιδ, επαταξεν αυτον. | 7 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shime-a, David's brother, slew him. |
| 8 Ουτοι εγεννηθησαν εις τον Ραφα εν Γαθ? και επεσον δια χειρος του Δαβιδ και δια χειρος των δουλων αυτου. | 8 These were descended from the giants in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. |
