¹And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out [to battle] , Yo’av [Yehovah is father] led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] , and came and besieged Rabbah [Great] . But David [beloved] tarried at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] . And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] struck Rabbah [Great] , and destroyed it.

²And David [beloved] took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent (weight of money; weight; gift) of gold, and [there were] precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s [beloved] ’s head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil (plunder; prey; booty) out of the city.

³And 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 [beloved] with all the cities of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] . And David [beloved] and all the people returned to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] .

⁴And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer [Portion] with the P’lishtim [Immigrants] ; at which time Sibkhai [weaver] the Hushati [meaning unknown] killed Sippai, [that was] of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.

⁵And there was war again with the P’lishtim [Immigrants] ; and Elchanan [God has been gracious] the son of Ya’ir [He Enlightens] killed Lachmi [my bread] the brother of Golyat [splendour] the Gitti [belonging to Gat (winepress)] , whose spear staff [was] like a weaver’s beam.

⁶And yet again there was war at Gat [Winepress] , 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.

⁷But when he defied Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] the son of Shim’a [fame] David’s [beloved] ’s brother killed him.

⁸These were born unto the giant in Gat [Winepress] ; and they fell by the hand of David [beloved] , and by the hand of his servants.
