And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

Er schlug auch einen ägyptischen Mann, der war fünf Ellen groß und hatte einen Spieß in der Hand wie ein Weberbaum. Aber er ging zu ihm hinab mit einem Stecken und nahm ihm den Spieß aus der Hand und tötete ihn mit seinem eigenen Spieß.
El mismo venció a un Egipcio, hombre de cinco codos de estatura: y el Egipcio traía una lanza como un enjullo de tejedor; mas él descendió a él con un bastón, y arrebató al Egipcio la lanza de la mano, y matolo con su misma lanza.
También mató a un egipcio de unos dos metros y medio de estatura. El egipcio llevaba en la mano una lanza como un rodillo de telar. Benaía bajó contra él con un bastón, le arrebató la lanza de la mano y lo mató con su propia lanza.
Il frappa un Egyptien d'une stature de cinq coudées et ayant à la main une lance comme une ensouple de tisserand; il descendit contre lui avec un bâton, arracha la lance de la main de l'Egyptien, et s'en servit pour le tuer.
Egli percosse ancora un uomo Egizio, il quale era uomo di grande statura, cioè, di cinque cubiti. Or quell’Egizio avea in mano una lancia simile ad un subbio di tessitore; ma Benaia scese contro a lui con un bastone, e gli strappò la lancia di mano, e l’uccise con la sua propria lancia.
Também feriu ele a um homem egípcio, homem de grande altura, de cinco côvados; e trazia o egípcio uma lança na mão, como o órgão do tecelão; mas Benaia desceu contra ele com uma vara, e arrancou a lança da mão do egípcio, e com ela o matou.
他又殺了一個身高五肘的 埃及 人; 埃及 人手裏拿著槍,槍桿粗如織布機的軸。 比拿雅 只拿著棍子下到他那裏去,從 埃及 人手裏奪過槍來,用那槍殺死了他。
