I Chronicles Chapter 20
1 And when the year was expired, in the
time that kings go out a warfare, Joab
carried out the strength of the army, and
destroyed the country of the children of
Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah
(but David tarried at Jerusalem) and
Joab smote Rabbah and destroyed it.
2 Then David took the crown of their
king from off his head, and found it the
weight of a talent of gold, with precious
stones in it: and it was set on David's
head, and he brought away the spoil of
the city exceeding much. 3 And he
carried away the people that were in it,
and cut them with saws, and with
harrows of iron, and with axes: even
thus did David with all the cities of the
children of Ammon. Then David and all
the people came again to Jerusalem.
4 And after this also there arose war at
Gezer with the Philistines: then
Sibbechai [Mebunnai] the Hushathite
slew Sippai, of the children of
Haraphah, and they were subdued.
5 And there was yet another battle with
the Philistines: and Elhanan the son of
Jair slew Lahmi, the brother of Goliath
the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a
weaver's beam.
6 And yet again there was a battle at
Gath, where was a man of
a great stature, and his fingers were by
sixes, even four and twenty, and was
also the son of Haraphah.
7 And when he reviled Israel, Jonathan
the son of Shimea David's brother did
slay him.
8 These were born unto Haraphah at
Gath, and fell by the hand of David: and
by the hands of his servants.
