But David remained at Yerushalayim. And Yo᾽av smote Rabba, and destroyed it.2וַיִּקַּ֣ח דָּוִ֣יד אֶת־עֲטֶֽרֶת־מַלְכָּם֩ מֵעַ֨ל רֹאשׁ֜וֹ וַֽיִּמְצָאָ֣הּ ׀ מִשְׁקַ֣ל כִּכַּר־זָהָ֗ב וּבָהּ֙ אֶ֣בֶן יְקָרָ֔ה וַתְּהִ֖י עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ דָּוִ֑יד וּשְׁלַ֥ל הָעִ֛יר הוֹצִ֖יא הַרְבֵּ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he also brought very much spoil out of the city.3וְאֶת־הָעָ֨ם אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֜הּ הוֹצִ֗יא וַיָּ֨שַׂר בַּמְּגֵרָ֜ה וּבַחֲרִיצֵ֤י הַבַּרְזֶל֙ וּבַמְּגֵר֔וֹת וְכֵן֙ יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה דָוִ֔יד לְכֹ֖ל עָרֵ֣י בְנֵי־עַמּ֑וֹן וַיָּ֧שׇׁב דָּוִ֛יד וְכׇל־הָעָ֖ם יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ {ס}And he brought out the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so did David deal with all the cities of the children of ῾Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Yerushalayim.4וַֽיְהִי֙ אַחֲרֵי־כֵ֔ן וַתַּעֲמֹ֧ד מִלְחָמָ֛ה בְּגֶ֖זֶר עִם־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים אָ֣ז הִכָּ֞ה סִבְּכַ֣י הַחֻשָׁתִ֗י אֶת־סִפַּ֛י מִילִידֵ֥י הָרְפָאִ֖ים וַיִּכָּנֵֽעוּ׃And it came to pass after this that there arose war at Gezer with the Pelishtim; at which time Sibbekhay the Ḥushatite slew Sippay, that was of the children of the Rafa; and they were subdued.5וַתְּהִי־ע֥וֹד מִלְחָמָ֖ה אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַיַּ֞ךְ אֶלְחָנָ֣ן בֶּן־[יָעִ֗יר] (יעור) אֶת־לַחְמִי֙ אֲחִי֙ גׇּלְיָ֣ת הַגִּתִּ֔י וְעֵ֣ץ חֲנִית֔וֹ כִּמְנ֖וֹר אֹרְגִֽים׃ {ס}And there was war again with the Pelishtim; and Elĥanan the son of Ya᾽ir slew Laĥmi the brother of Golyat the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.6וַתְּהִי־ע֥וֹד מִלְחָמָ֖ה בְּגַ֑ת וַיְהִ֣י ׀ אִ֣ישׁ מִדָּ֗ה וְאֶצְבְּעֹתָ֤יו שֵׁשׁ־וָשֵׁשׁ֙ עֶשְׂרִ֣ים וְאַרְבַּ֔ע וְגַם־ה֖וּא נוֹלַ֥ד לְהָרָפָֽא׃And yet again there was war at Gat, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty four, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the Rafa.7וַיְחָרֵ֖ף אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּכֵּ֙הוּ֙ יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן בֶּן־שִׁמְעָ֖א אֲחִ֥י דָוִֽיד׃And he insulted Yisra᾽el, so Yehonatan the son of Shim῾a, David’s brother, slew him.8אֵ֛ל נוּלְּד֥וּ לְהָרָפָ֖א בְּגַ֑ת וַיִּפְּל֥וּ בְיַד־דָּוִ֖יד וּבְיַד־עֲבָדָֽיו׃ {פ}These were born to the Rafa in Gat; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
