of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered
into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16
And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers,
and drew forth the Syrians that
were
beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of
Hadarezer
went
before them.
17
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over
Jordan, and came upon them, and set
the battle
in array against them. So when David had put the
battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18
But the Syrians fled before Israel; and
David slew of the Syrians seven thousand
men which fought in
chariots, and forty thousand footmen,
and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
19
And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they
were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither
would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 20
And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out
to battle,
Joab led
forth the power of the army, and wasted 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
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 brought also exceeding
much spoil out of the city.
3
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.
4
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time
Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai,
that was
of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5
And there was war again 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 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.
7
But when he defied Israel,
Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
8
These were born unto the giant in Gath;
and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 21
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2
And David said to Joab
and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer- sheba even to Dan; and bring the
number of them to me, that I may know
it.
3
And Joab answered, The L
ORD
make his people an
hundred times so many more as they
be:
but, my lord the king,
are
they not all my lord’s servants?
