1 E, depois disso, aconteceu que Davi feriu os filisteus e os abateu; tomou a Gate e os lugares da sua jurisdição da mão dos filisteus. 2 Também feriu os moabitas, e os moabitas ficaram servos de Davi, trazendo presentes.

3 Também Davi feriu a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, junto a Hamate, indo ele estabelecer os seus domínios pelo rio Eufrates. 4 E Davi lhe tomou mil cavalos de carros, e sete mil cavaleiros, e vinte mil homens de pé; e Davi jarretou todos os cavalos dos carros, porém reservou deles cem cavalos. 5 E vieram os siros de Damasco a ajudar a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá; porém dos siros feriu Davi vinte e dois mil homens. 6 E Davi pôs guarnições na Síria de Damasco, e os siros ficaram servos de Davi, trazendo presentes; e o Senhor guardava a Davi, por onde quer que ia. 7 E tomou Davi os escudos de ouro que tinham os servos de Hadadezer e os trouxe a Jerusalém. 8 Também de Tibate e de Cum, cidades de Hadadezer, tomou Davi muitíssimo cobre, de que Salomão fez o mar de cobre, e as colunas, e os utensílios de cobre.

9 E, ouvindo Toú, rei de Hamate, que Davi destruíra todo o exército de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, 10 mandou seu filho Hadorão a Davi, para lhe perguntar como estava, e para o abençoar, por haver pelejado com Hadadezer e o destruir (porque Hadadezer fazia guerra a Toú), enviando-lhe juntamente toda 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 mais nações: dos edomitas, e dos moabitas, e dos filhos de Amom, e dos filisteus, e dos amalequitas.

12 Também Abisai, filho de Zeruia, feriu a dezoito mil edomitas no vale do Sal. 13 E pôs guarnições em Edom, e todos os edomitas ficaram servos de Davi; e o Senhor guardava a Davi, por onde quer que ia.

14 E Davi reinou sobre todo o Israel; fazia juízo e justiça a todo o seu povo. 15 E Joabe, filho de Zeruia, tinha cargo do exército; e Josafá, filho de Ailude, era chanceler. 16 E Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Abimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; e Sausa, escrivão. 17 E Benaia, filho de Joiada, tinha cargo dos quereteus e peleteus; porém os filhos de Davi, os primeiros, estavam à mão do rei.

1 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates. 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots. 5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD 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 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; 10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11 Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. 12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. 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 chief about the king.
