- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Philistines; 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 Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.

- 過了一年、到列王出戰的時候、約押率領軍兵、毀壞亞捫人的地、圍攻拉巴。大衛仍住在耶路撒冷。約押攻打拉巴將城傾覆。
- 大衛奪了亞捫人之王所戴的金冠冕、〔王或作瑪勒堪瑪勒堪即米勒公亞捫族之神名〕其上的金子重一他連得、又嵌著寶石.人將這冠冕戴在大衛頭上.大衛從城裡奪了許多財物.
- 將城裡的人拉出來、放在鋸下、或鐵耙下、或鐵斧下〔或作強他們用鋸或用打糧食的鐵器或用鐵斧作工〕大衛待亞捫各城的居民都是如此。其後大衛和眾軍都回耶路撒冷去了。
- 後來、以色列人在基色與非利士人打仗.戶沙人西比該殺了偉人的一個兒子細派.非利士人就被制伏了。
- 又與非利士人打仗.睚珥的兒子伊勒哈難、殺了迦特人歌利亞的兄弟拉哈米.這人的槍桿粗如織布的機軸。
