1 Chronicles 20

ANd it came to pass, that † after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battel, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon Of this first verse see my Notes on 2 Sam. 11. 1. and of v. 2, 3. on 2 Sam. 12. 30, 31. and of the rest of this Chapter on 2 Sam. 21. 15, &c. where also an Account is given of the seeming Differences between this and that Relation., and came and besieged Rabbah, (but David tarried at Jerusalem) and Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

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 Davids head; and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.

And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws and with harrows of iron, and with axes: even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistins; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai that was of the children of the giant, and they were subdued.

And there was war again with the Philistins, and Elhanan the son of slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear-staff was like a weavers beam.

And yet again there was war at Gath, where was † a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.

But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of ‖ Shimea, Davids brother slew him.

These were born unto the giant in Gath: and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
