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.
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.
