Davi conquista a cidade de Rabá
2Samuel 12.26-31
1 Na primavera seguinte, na época do ano em que os reis costumam sair para a guerra, Joabe saiu com o seu exército e invadiu o país de Amom. Porém o rei Davi ficou em Jerusalém. O exército israelita cercou, atacou e destruiu a cidade de Rabá. 2 Moloque, o ídolo dos amonitas, tinha uma coroa que pesava mais ou menos trinta e quatro quilos. A coroa era de ouro, e nela havia uma pedra preciosa, que Davi tirou e colocou na sua própria coroa. Davi levou também de Rabá muitas coisas de valor. 3 Ele fez o povo sair da cidade e o obrigou a trabalhar com serras, enxadas e machados. Fez o mesmo em todas as outras cidades de Amom. Então Davi e os seus soldados voltaram para Jerusalém.
Batalhas contra os gigantes filisteus
2Samuel 21.15-22
4 Algum tempo depois, houve guerra contra os filisteus em Gezer. Isso aconteceu quando Sibecai, da cidade de Husa, matou um gigante chamado Sipai, e os filisteus foram derrotados.
5 Houve outra batalha contra os filisteus, e Elanã, filho de Jair, matou Lami, irmão de Golias, da cidade de Gate. A lança de Lami era enorme, muito grossa e pesada.
6 E houve ainda outra batalha em Gate. Ali havia um descendente dos antigos gigantes que tinha seis dedos em cada mão e em cada pé. 7 Esse gigante desafiou os israelitas, e Jônatas, filho de Simeia, irmão de Davi, o matou.
8 Esses três, que foram mortos por Davi e os seus soldados, eram descendentes dos gigantes da cidade de Gate.
1 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.
