1 Na, muri iho i tenei, ka patua e Rawiri nga Pirihitini, a pehia ana e ia ki raro, tangohia ana e ia a Kata me ona pa ririki i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.

2 I patua ano e ia a Moapa: na kua waiho nga Moapi hei pononga ma Rawiri, a homai ana he hakari e ratou.

3 I patua ano e Rawiri a Hararetere kingi o Topa a tae noa ki Hamata, i tona haerenga ki te whakau i tona rohe ki te awa, ki Uparati.

4 Na tangohia ana e Rawiri i a ia kotahi mono nga hariata, e whitu mano nga hoia eke hoiho, e rua tekau mano nga tangata haere i raro: a i whakangongea e Rawiri nga hoiho katoa o nga hariata, engari i whakatoea o ratou nga mea mo nga hariata kotahi rau.

5 A, no te haerenga mai o nga Hiriani o Ramahiku ki te whakauru i a Hararetere kingi o Topa, patua iho e Rawiri o nga Hiriani e rua tekau ma rua mano tangata.

6 Katahi ka whakanohoia e Rawiri he hoia pupuri ki Hiria o Ramahiku; a ka waiho nga Hiriani hei pononga ma Rawiri, a homai ana he hakari e ratou. Na homai ana e Ihowa kia toa a Rawiri i ona haerenga katoa.

7 A tangohia ana e Rawiri nga whakangungu rakau koura o nga tangata a Hararetere, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama.

8 A nui atu te parahi i tangohia e Rawiri i Tipihata, i Kunu, i nga pa o Hararetere; no reira te moana parahi, nga pou, me nga oko parahi i hanga nei e Horomona.

9 A, no te rongonga o Tohu kingi o Hamata kua patua e Rawiri te ope katoa a Hararetere kingi o Topa,

10 Ka tonoa e ia a Hatorama, tana tama, ki a Kingi Rawiri ki te oha ki a ia, ki te manaaki hoki i a ia, mona i whawhai ki a Hararetere, i patu hoki i a ia: he hoariri hoki a Hararetere no Tohu; a he taonga ana, te tini o nga oko koura, hiriwa, para hi.

11 Whakatapua ake era e Kingi Rawiri ma Ihowa hei tapiri mo te hiriwa, mo te koura, i maua mai e ia i nga iwi katoa; i nga Eromi, i nga Moapi, i nga tama a Amona, i nga Pirihitini, i nga Amareki.

12 Na i patua hoki e Apihai tama a Teruia etahi o nga Eromi ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau ma waru mano.

13 I whakanohoia ano e ia he hoia pupuri ki Eroma: a ka meinga nga Eromi katoa hei pononga ma Rawiri. Na homai ana e Ihowa kia toa a Rawiri i ona haerenga katoa.

14 Na ko Rawiri te kingi o Iharaira katoa; a i mahi i te whakawa, i te tika mo tona iwi katoa.

15 A ko Ioapa tama a Teruia te rangatira ope, ko Iehohapata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara.

16 Ko Haroko tama a Ahitupu raua ko Apimereke tama a Apiatara nga tohunga; ko Hawaha hoki te kaituhituhi;

17 Ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara te rangatira mo nga Kereti, mo nga Pereti; ko nga tama ia a Rawiri nga tino rangatira i te taha o te kingi.

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 Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto 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 hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots.

5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to 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 Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah, 10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. 11 These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the 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 smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand. 13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

14 And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people. 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were 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.
