1 Chronicles 20

DOUAI-RHEIMS	DIODATI
1 And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed it.	1 Or avvenne che, in capo dell’anno, al tempo che i re sogliono uscire alla guerra, Ioab condusse fuori l’esercito, e guastò il paese de’ figliuoli di Ammon; poi venne, e pose l’assedio a Rabba; ma Davide dimorò in Gerusalemme; e Ioab percosse Rabba, e la disfece.
2 And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.	2 E Davide prese la corona di Malcam d’in su la testa di esso, e trovò che pesava un talento d’oro, e vi erano delle pietre preziose; e fu posta sopra il capo di Davide. Egli ne portò eziandio le spoglie della città, ch’erano in grandissima quantità.
3 And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon : and he returned with alibis people to Jerusalem.	3 E trasse fuori il popolo, e lo mise in pezzi con seghe, e con trebbie di ferro, e con mannaie. E così fece Davide a tutte le città de’ figliuoli di Ammon. Poi se ne ritornò, con tutto il popolo, in Gerusalemme
4 After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them.	4 DOPO queste cose, avvenne che si mosse guerra contro a’ Filistei, in Ghezer. Allora Sibbecai Hussatita percosse Sippai, ch’era della progenie di Rafa; ed i Filistei furono abbassati.
5 Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.	5 Vi fu ancora un’altra guerra contro a’ Filistei, nella quale Elhanan, figliuolo di Iair, percosse Lachmi, fratello di Goliat, Ghitteo, l’asta della cui lancia era come un subbio di tessitore.
6 There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.	6 Vi fu ancora un’altra guerra in Gat, dove si trovò un uomo di grande statura, il quale aveva sei dita in ciascuna mano, ed in ciascun piè; sì ch’erano in tutto ventiquattro; ed era anch’egli della progenie di Rafa.
7 He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him. These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.	7 Ed egli schernì Israele; ma Gionatan, figliuolo di Sima, fratello di Davide, lo percosse.
	8 Questi nacquero in Gat, della schiatta di Rafa, e furono morti per mano di Davide, e per mano de’ suoi servitori
