NEW JERUSALEMNOVA VULGATA
1 At the turn of the year, at the time when kings go campaigning, Joab led out the troops and, havingravaged the Ammonites' territory, proceeded to lay siege to Rabbah. David, however, remained in Jerusalem.Joab reduced Rabbah and dismantled it.1 Factum est autem post anni circulum, eo tempore, quo solent reges ad bella procedere, eduxit Ioab robur exercitus et vastavit terram filiorum Ammon; perrexitque et obsedit Rabba. Porro David manebat in Ierusalem, quando Ioab percussit Rabba et destruxit eam.
2 David took the crown off Milcom's head and found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it was set aprecious stone which went on David's head instead. He carried off great quantities of booty from the city.2 Tulit autem David coronam Melchom de capite eius et invenit in ea auri pondo talentum et pretiosissimam gemmam, venitque super caput David; manubias quoque urbis plurimas tulit.
3 And he expel ed its inhabitants, setting them to work with saws, iron picks and axes. David treated althe Ammonite towns in the same way. David and al the people then returned to Jerusalem.3 Populum autem, qui erat in ea, eduxit et condemnavit ad operam lapicidinarum et ad secures et dolabras ferreas. Sic fecit David cunctis urbibus filiorum Ammon et reversus est cum omni populo suo in Ierusalem.
4 After this war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. This was when Sibbecai of Hushah kil ed Sippai, one of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.4 Post haec initum est bellum in Gazer adversum Philisthaeos, in quo percussit Sobbochai Husathites Saphai de genere Raphaim, et humiliavit eos.
5 Again, war with the Philistines broke out, and Elhanan son of Jair kil ed Lahmi brother of Goliath ofGath, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.5 Aliud quoque bellum gestum est adversus Philisthaeos, in quo percussit Elchanan filius Iair Lahmi fratrem Goliath Getthaeum, cuius hastae lignum erat quasi liciatorium texentium.
6 There was further warfare at Gath, where there was a man of huge stature with six fingers on eachhand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in al . He too was a son of Rapha.6 Sed et aliud bellum accidit in Geth, in quo fuit homo longissimus senos habens digitos, id est simul viginti quattuor, qui et ipse de Rapha fuerat stirpe generatus;
7 When he defied Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David cut him down.7 hic blasphemavit Israel, et percussit eum Ionathan filius Samma fratris David. Hi sunt filii Rapha in Geth, qui ceciderunt in manu David et servorum eius.
8 These men were sons of Rapha in Gath and fel at the hands of David and his guards.
