⥃The Capture of Rabbah [ 2 Samuel 12:26–31 ]
[1] And it came2 to pass, that after the year was expired3, at the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted4 the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah5. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote6 Rabbah, and destroyed it.7 [2] And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it8 to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were] precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought9 also exceeding much spoil out of the city. [3] And he10 brought out the people that [were] in it, and cut11 [them] with saws12, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
⥃Battles against the Philistines [ 2 Samuel 21:15–22 ]
[4] And it came to pass after this, that there arose13 war at Gezer14 with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai15 the Hushathite slew Sippai16, [that was] of the children of the giant17: and they were subdued.18 [5] And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair19 slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath20 the Gittite, whose spear staff [was] like a weaver’s beam. [6] And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature21, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant22. [7] But when he defied23 Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea24 David’s brother slew him. [8] These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell25 by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

Instead of wyyasar, "and he cut," the parallel passage is wyyasem, "and he put them;" which is also the reading here of seven manuscripts collated by Dr. Kennicott. Sawing asunder, etc., of human beings, have no more place in the text, than they had in David's conduct towards the Ammonites. ↩
