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.

1 Depois disto feriu Davi os filisteus, subjugou-os e tomou das mãos deles a Gate e suas aldeias.

2 Também feriu a Moabe; os moabitas tornaram-se servos de Davi, e pagavam tributos.

3 Também Davi feriu a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, até Hamate, quando ia estabelecer o seu domínio junto ao rio Eufrates.

4 Davi tomou-lhe mil carros, e sete mil cavaleiros, e vinte mil homens de pé; Davi jarretou todos os cavalos dos carros, mas reservou deles para cem carros.

5 Tendo vindo os siros de Damasco em socorro de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, Davi feriu deles vinte e dois mil homens.

6 Então Davi pôs guarnições em Síria de Damasco; os siros tornaram-se servos de Davi, e pagavam tributos. Jeová dava vitória a Davi por onde quer que ia.

7 Davi tomou os escudos de ouro, que tinham os servos de Hadadezer, e os trouxe para Jerusalém.

8 De Tibate, e de Cum, cidades de Hadadezer, tomou Davi muitíssimo bronze, de que Salomão fez o mar de bronze, as colunas e os vasos de bronze.

9 Quando Toú, rei de Hamate, ouviu que Davi tinha ferido todo o exército de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá,

10 enviou seu filho Hadorão ao rei Davi, para o saudar e para o abençoar, por ter pelejado contra Hadadezer e por tê-lo ferido (porque Hadadezer fazia guerra a Toú). Ele trouxe consigo toda a sorte de vasos de ouro, de prata e de bronze.

11 A estes também consagrou o rei Davi a Jeová, juntamente com a prata e ouro que tinha levado de todas as nações: de Edom, de Moabe, dos filhos de Amom, dos filisteus e de Amaleque.

12 Além disso Abisai, filho de Zeruia, feriu dos edomitas dezoito mil no Vale do Sal.

13 Pôs guarnições em Edom, e todos os edomitas tornaram-se servos de Davi. Jeová dava vitória a Davi por onde quer que ia.

14 Davi reinou sobre todo o Israel; e fazia juízo e justiça a todo o seu povo.

15 Joabe, filho de Zeruia, comandava o exército; Josafá, filho de Ailude, era cronista;

16 Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Abimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; Sausa era secretário;

17 Benaia, filho de Joiada, comandava os quereteus e peleteus; e os filhos de Davi eram os primeiros junto à pessoa do rei.
