God's Word Translation

1 Chronicles 20:2-5 God's Word Translation (GW)

2. He took the gold crown from the head of Rabbah’s king and put it on David’s head. (The crown was found to weigh 75 pounds, and in it was a precious stone.) David also took a lot of goods from the city.

3. He brought out the troops who were there and put them to work with saws, hoes, and axes. He did the same to all the Ammon ite cities. Then David and all the troops returned to Jerusalem.

4. After this, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbecai from Hushah killed Sippai, a descendant of Haraphah, and the Philistines were defeated.

5. When more fighting broke out with the Philistines, Elhanan, son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath from Gath. (The shaft of Lahmi’s spear was like a beam used by weavers.)
