| 1 Ora aconteceu que, tendo decorrido um ano, no tempo em que os reis costumam ir para a guerra, Joab juntou o exército e a flor das tropas, assolou o pais dos Amonitas e pôs cerco a Raba. Davide, porém, ficou em Jerusalém, enquanto Joab bateu Jelaba e a destruiu. | 1 Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it. |
| 2 Davide tirou a coroa de cima da cabeça de Melcom, e encontrou nela o peso dum talento de ouro e pedras preciosíssimas, de que fez para si um diadema; levou também muitos despojos da cidade. | 2 Then David took the crown of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many. |
| 3 Mandou sair o povo, que havia nela, e empregou-o em serrar, em afiar ferros, em serviços com machados. O mesmo fez em todas as cidades dos Amonitas. (Depois) voltou para Jerusalém com todo o seu povo. | 3 Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people to Jerusalem. |
| 4 Depois disto, travou uma batalha em Gazer contra os Filisteus, durante a qual Sobocai de Husat matou Safai da raça dos Refaim. Os Filisteus ficaram humiIhados. | 4 After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them. |
| 5 Houve ainda outra guerra contra os Filisteus, na qual Adeodato, filho de Salto de Belém, matou um irmão de Golias, de Get, que tinha uma lança cuja haste era como um órgão dos tecelões. | 5 Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. |
| 6 E ainda houve outra batalha em Get, onde foi encontrado um homem de grandíssima estatura, que tinha seis dedos nos pés e nas mãos, isto é, vinte e quatro ao todo, o qual descendia também da raça de Rafa. | 6 Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim. |
| 7 Este insultava Israel, mas Jonatan, filho de Samaa, irmão de Davide, matou-o. Estes são os filhos de Rafa em Get, que foram mortos pelas mãos de Davide e das suas tropas. | 7 He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down. These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants. |
