1 DESPUÉS de estas cosas aconteció que David hirió á los Filisteos, y los humilló; y tomó á Gath y sus villas de mano de los Filisteos.

2 También hirió á Moab; y los Moabitas fueron siervos de David trayéndole presentes.

3 Asimismo hirió David á Adarezer rey de Soba, en Hamath, yendo él á asegurar su dominio al río de Eufrates.

4 Y tomóles David mil carros, y siete mil de á caballo, y veinte mil hombres de á pie: y desjarretó David los caballos de todos los carros, excepto los de cien carros que dejó.

5 Y viniendo los Siros de Damasco en ayuda de Adarezer rey de Soba, David hirió de los Siros veintidós mil hombres.

6 Y puso David guarnición en Siria la de Damasco, y los Siros fueron hechos siervos de David, trayéndole presentes: porque Jehová salvaba á David donde quiera que iba.

7 Tomó también David los escudos de oro que llevaban los siervos de Adarezer, y trájolos á Jerusalem.

8 Asimismo de Thibath y de Chûn ciudades de Adarezer, tomó David muy mucho metal, de que Salomón hizo el mar de bronce, las columnas, y vasos de bronce.

9 Y oyendo Tou rey de Hamath, que David había deshecho todo el ejército de Adarezer, rey de Soba,

10 Envió á Adoram su hijo al rey David, á saludarle y á bendecirle por haber peleado con Adarezer, y haberle vencido; porque Tou tenía guerra con Adarezer. Envióle también toda suerte de vasos de oro, de plata y de metal;

11 Los cuales el rey David dedicó á Jehová, con la plata y oro que había tomado de todas las naciones, de Edom, de Moab, de los hijos de Ammón, de los Filisteos, y de Amalec.

12 A más de esto Abisai hijo de Sarvia hirió en el valle de la Sal dieciocho mil Idumeos.

13 Y puso guarnición en Edom, y todos los Idumeos fueron siervos de David: porque Jehová guardaba á David donde quiera que iba.

14 Y reinó David sobre todo Israel, y hacía juicio y justicia á todo su pueblo.

15 Y Joab hijo de Sarvia era general del ejército; y Josaphat hijo de Ahilud, canciller;

16 Y Sadoc hijo de Achîtob, y Abimelec hijo de Abiathar, eran sacerdotes; y Sausa, secretario;

17 Y Benaías hijo de Joiada era sobre los Ceretheos y Peletheos; y los hijos de David eran los príncipes cerca del rey.

1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.

2 And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.

3 Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.

4 And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

5 And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.

6 Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

7 And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.

8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.

9 Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,

10 He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.

12 And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,

13 David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

14 So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

15 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.

16 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;

17 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
