Commentary on the chapter (in Russian)
1It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2David 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 on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
3He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut them with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Commentary, vv. 1–3 (in Russian)
. Рассказ о завоевании Раввы представляет видоизменение повествования 2 кн. Царств XI гл. о том же самом предмете. Первый стих до слов: «Иоав, завоевав Равву, разрушил ее», воспроизводит 1 ст. XI гл. 2 кн. Царств. Данное же выражение стоит в прямом противоречии с показанием 2 Цар XII:29, что Равва была взята самим Давидом, а не Иоавом. Помимо противоречия с кн. Царств, в кн. Паралипоменон наблюдается самопротиворечие. По первому стиху Давид во время осады и завоевания Раввы оставался в Иерусалиме, а по ст. 3 принимал участие в этом деле. «Так поступил Давид со всеми городами Аммонитян и возвратился… в Иерусалим» . Наконец, автор опускает имевшую место во время аммонитской войны историю Давида с Вирсавией (2 Цар XI:2 и д.), как бросающую тень на его личность.
4It 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.
Commentary, v. 4 (in Russian)
. Совохай Xушатянин, см. XI:29.
5There 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.
Commentary, v. 5 (in Russian)
. Срав. 2 Цар XXI:19.
6There was again war at Gath, where there 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.
7When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother killed him.
8These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Commentary, vv. 4–8 (in Russian)
. По кн. Паралипоменон, описанные в данных стихах войны с филистимлянами падали на время после завоевания Раввы («после того» — ст. 4); между тем то 2 кн. Царств они имели место гораздо позже, — после выдачи гаваонитянами потомков Саула (XXI:18 и д.).
