Bible. Chronicles, 1st
13:019:017 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.
13:019:018 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.
13:019:019 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.
13:020:001 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.
13:020:002 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.
13:020:003 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.
13:020:004 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.
13:020:005 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.
13:020:006 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.
13:020:007 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's
brother slew him.
13:020:008 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the
hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
13:021:001 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to
number Israel.
13:021:002 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go,
number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number
of them to me, that I may know it.
