- In the spring ... , at the time when kings march out to war , Joab - led out the army ... and ravaged the land - of the Ammonites .... He came to Rabbah and besieged it , - but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab - attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
Then David - took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold with precious stones , and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount ... of plunder from the city.
- (David) brought out the people who (were) and put (them to work) with saws , iron picks , and axes. And (he) did the same to all the Ammonite ... cities. Then (David) and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
Some time later ... , war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite - killed Sippai , a descendant of the Rephaim , and the Philistines were subdued.
Once again there was a battle with the Philistines , and Elhanan son of Jair - killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite , the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
And there was still another battle at Gath , where there was a man of (great) stature with six fingers on each hand and six (toes on each foot) — twenty-four in all .... He too was descended from Rapha ,
and when he taunted - Israel , Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David ... and his servants.
