{1Ch 20:1; 2Sa 11:1-12:14; Psa 51 ^**}

    ^20:1 And it happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led forth the army and wasted the country of the sons of Ammon and came and besieged Rabbah, but David remained at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

    {2Sa 12:26-31; 1Ch 20:2-3 ^**}

    ^20:2 And David took the crown of their king from his head and found it to weigh a talant of gold and there were precious stones in it. And it was set upon David's head and he brought out the spoil of the city, exceedingly much. ^20:3 And he brought out the people that were in it and cut with saws and with iron cutlery and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

    ^20:4 And it happened after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai of the sons of the giant and they were subdued.

    ^20:5 And there was again war with the Philistines. And Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

    ^20:6 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand and six on each foot. And he also was born to the giant. ^20:7 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother killed him. ^20:8 These were born to the giant in Gath and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
