the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the

of Ammon, and came and besieged a Rabbah. But David

it.

20:2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head,
and found it to weigh a b 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.
(b) Which mounts about the value of seven thousand and
seventy crowns, which is about 60 pound weight.
20:5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan
the son of Jair slew c Lahmi the brother of Goliath the

20:6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of
[great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and
twenty, d six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and
he also was the son of the giant.
