1 E depois disto aconteceu que Davi derrotou os filisteus, e os sujeitou; e tomou a Gate, e os lugares da sua jurisdição, da mão dos filisteus.
2 Também derrotou os moabitas; e os moabitas ficaram por servos de Davi, pagando tributos.
3 Também Davi derrotou a Hadar-Ezer, rei de Zobá, junto a Hamate, quando ele ia estabelecer o seu domínio sobre o rio Eufrates.
4 E Davi lhe tomou mil carros, e sete mil cavaleiros, e vinte mil homens de pé; e Davi jarretou todos os cavalos dos carros; porém reservou deles para cem carros.
5 E vieram os sírios de Damasco a socorrer a Hadar-Ezer, rei de Zobá; porém Davi feriu dos sírios vinte e dois mil homens.
6 E Davi pôs guarnições na Síria de Damasco, e os sírios ficaram por servos de Davi, pagando-lhe tributo; e o Senhor guardava a Davi, por onde quer que ia.
7 E Davi tomou os escudos de ouro, que tinham os servos de Hadar-Ezer, e os trouxe a Jerusalém.
8 Também de Tibate, e de Cum, cidades de Hadar-Ezer, tomou Davi muitíssimo cobre, de que Salomão fez o mar de cobre, e as colunas, e os utensílios de cobre.
9 E ouvindo Toí, rei de Hamate, que Davi destruíra todo o exército de Hadar-Ezer, rei de Zobá,
10 Mandou seu filho Hadorão a Davi, para lhe perguntar como estava, e para o abençoar, por haver pelejado contra Hadar-Ezer, e por havê-lo ferido (porque Hadar-Ezer fazia guerra a Toí), enviando-lhe também toda a sorte de vasos de ouro, e de prata, e de cobre.
11 Os quais Davi também consagrou ao Senhor, juntamente com a prata e ouro que trouxera de todas as demais nações: dos edomeus, e dos moabitas, e dos filhos de Amom, e dos filisteus, e dos amalequitas.
12 Também Abisai, filho de Zeruia, feriu a dezoito mil edomeus no Vale do Sal.
13 E pôs guarnições em Edom, e todos os edomeus ficaram por servos de Davi; e o Senhor guardava a Davi, por onde quer que ia.
14 E Davi reinou sobre todo o Israel; e fazia juízo e justiça a todo o seu povo.
15 E Joabe, filho de Zeruia, comandava o exército; Jeosafá, filho de Ailude, era cronista.
16 E Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Abimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; e Savsa escrivão.
17 E Benaia, filho de Joiada, estava sobre os quereteus e peleteus; porém os filhos de Davi eram os primeiros junto ao rei.
1 And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he smote the Moabites; and the Moabites became David's servants, {and} brought gifts.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot {horses}, but reserved of them {for} a hundred chariots.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.
6 And David put {garrisons} in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, {and} brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 And from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 And Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10 and he sent Hadoram his son to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer was continually at war with Tou; {he sent} also all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.
11 Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had brought from all the nations: from the Edomites, and from the Moabites, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from the Amalekites.
12 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
14 And David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice to all his people.
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;
16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were the first at the king's hand.
