20:1 In
the
spring
of
the
year,
the
time
when
kings
go
out
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
struck
down
Rabbah
and
overthrew
it.
20:2 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
out
the
spoil
of
the
city,
a
very
great
amount.
20:3 And
he
brought
out
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.
20:4 And
after
this
there
arose
war
with
the
Philistines
at
Gezer.
Then
Sibbecai
the
Hushathite
struck
down
Sippai,
who
was
one
of
the
descendants
of
the
giants,
and
the
Philistines
were
subdued.
20:5 And
there
was
again
war
with
the
Philistines,
and
Elhanan
the
son
of
Jair
struck
down
Lahmi
the
brother
of
Goliath
the
Gittite,
the
shaft
of
whose
spear
was
like
a
weaver's
beam.
20:6 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.
20:7 And
when
he
taunted
Israel,
Jonathan
the
son
of
Shimea,
David's
brother,
struck
him
down.
20:8 These
were
descended
from
the
giants
in
Gath,
and
they
fell
by
the
hand
of
David
and
by
the
hand
of
his
servants.
