3 1And when the two kings of the Canaanites came sheathed in armour against our flocks, and much people with them, single-handed I rushed upon the king of Hazor, and smote him on the greaves and dragged him down, and so I Slew him. 2And the other, the king of Tappuah, as he sat upon his horse, [I slew, and so I scattered all his people. 3Achor the king] a man of giant stature I found, hurling javelins before and behind as he sat on horseback, and I took up a stone of sixty pounds weight, and hurled it and smote his horse, and killed it. 4And I fought with (this) other for two hours; and I clave his shield in twain, and I chopped off his feet, and killed him. 5And as I was stripping off his breastplate, behold nine men his companions began to fight with me. 6And I wound my garment on my hand; and I slung stones at them, and killed four of them, and the rest fled. 7And Jacob my father slew Beelesath, king of all the kings, a giant in strength, twelve cubits high., 8And fear fell upon them, and they ceased warring against us. 9Therefore my father was free from anxiety in the wars when I was with my brethren. 10For he saw in a vision concerning me that an angel of might followed me everywhere, that I should not be overcome.
