20:1 And it came to pass, that after 6256 the year 8141 was expired 8666, at the time 6256 that kings 4428 go out 3318 8800 [to battle], Joab 3097 led forth 5090 8799 the power 2428 of the army 6635, and wasted 7843 8686 the country 776 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, and came 935 8799 and besieged 6696 8799 Rabbah 7237. But David 1732 tarried 3427 8802 at Jerusalem 3389. And Joab 3097 smote 5221 8686 Rabbah 7237, and destroyed 2040 8799 it.(after…: Heb. at the return of the year)

20:2 And David 1732 took 3947 8799 the crown 5850 of their king 4428 from off his head 7218, and found 4672 8799 it to weigh 4948 a talent 3603 of gold 2091, and [there were] precious 3368 stones 68 in it; and it was set upon David's 1732 head 7218: and he brought 3318 8689 also exceeding 3966 much 7235 8687 spoil 7998 out of the city 5892.(to weigh: Heb. the weight of)

20:3 And he brought out 3318 8689 the people 5971 that [were] in it, and cut 7787 8799 [them] with saws 4050, and with harrows 2757 of iron 1270, and with axes 4050. Even so dealt 6213 8799 David 1732 with all the cities 5892 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983. And David 1732 and all the people 5971 returned 7725 8799 to Jerusalem 3389.

20:4 And it came to pass after this 310, that there arose 5975 8799 war 4421 at Gezer 1507 with the Philistines 6430; at which time 227 Sibbechai 5444 the Hushathite 2843 slew 5221 8689 Sippai 5598, [that was] of the children 3211 of the giant 7497: and they were subdued 3665 8735.(arose: or, continued: Heb. stood)(Gezer: or, Gob)(the giant: or, Rapha)

20:5 And there was war 4421 again with the Philistines 6430; and Elhanan 445 the son 1121 of Jair 3265 slew 5221 8686 Lahmi 3902 the brother 251 of Goliath 1555 the Gittite 1663, whose spear 2595 staff 6086 [was] like a weaver's 707 8802 beam 4500.(Jair: called also, Iaare-ore-gim.2.Sam.21.19)

20:6 And yet again there was war 4421 at Gath 1661, where was a man 376 of [great] stature 4060, whose fingers 676 and toes 676 [were] four 702 and twenty 6242, six 8337 [on each hand], and six 8337 [on each foot]: and he also was the son 3205 8738 of the giant 7497.(great…: Heb. a man of measure)(the son…: Heb. born to the giants, or, Rapha)

20:7 But when he defied 2778 8762 Israel 3478, Jonathan 3083 the son 1121 of Shimea 8092 David's 1732 brother 251 slew 5221 8686 him.(defied: or, reproached)(Shimea: called Shammah)

20:8 These 411 were born 3205 8738 unto the giant 7497 in Gath 1661; and they fell 5307 8799 by the hand 3027 of David 1732, and by the hand 3027 of his servants 5650.
