1 Depois disto Davi bateu os filisteus e os subjugou, e tirou das suas mãos as rédeas da metrópole.
2 Bateu também a Moabe e mediu-os com cordel, fazendo-os deitar por terra; deles mediu dois cordéis para os matar e um cordel inteiro para os conservar em vida. Os moabitas tornaram-se servos de Davi, e pagavam-lhe tributos.
3 Bateu também Davi a Hadadezer, filho de Reobe, rei de Zobá, quando foi estabelecer o seu domínio sobre o Rio.
4 Davi tomou-lhe mil e setecentos cavaleiros, e vinte mil homens de pé; jarretou a todos os cavalos dos carros, mas deles reservou para cem carros.
5 Quando os siros de Damasco vieram a socorrer a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, Davi matou dos siros vinte e dois mil homens.
6 Davi pôs guarnições em Síria de Damasco; os siros tornaram-se servos de Davi, e pagavam-lhe tributos. Jeová guardava a Davi, por onde quer que ele ia.
7 Tomou Davi os escudos de ouro, de que usavam os servos de Hadadezer, e levou-os para Jerusalém.
8 De Betá e de Berotai, cidades de Hadadezer, tomou o rei Davi bronze em grande quantidade.
9 Quando Toí, rei de Hamate, ouviu que Davi ferira toda a hoste de Hadadezer,
10 enviou-lhe seu filho Jorão para o saudar e para o abençoar, porque tinha pelejado contra Hadadezer, e porque o tinha batido. Pois Hadadezer de contínuo fazia guerra a Toí. Jorão trouxe na sua mão vasos de prata, vasos de ouro e vasos de bronze,
11 que o rei Davi consagrou a Jeová, juntamente com a prata e ouro que tinha consagrado de todas as nações que subjugara:
12 da Síria, e de Moabe, e dos filhos de Amom, e dos filisteus, e de Amaleque, e dos despojos de Hadadezer, filho de Reobe, rei de Zobá.
13 Davi adquiriu para si grande nome, quando voltou de ferir dos siros, no Vale do Sal, uns dezoito mil homens.
14 Pôs guarnições em Edom; em todo o Edom pôs guarnições, e todos os edomitas tornaram-se servos de Davi. Jeová guardava a Davi por onde quer que ele ia.
15 Reinou Davi sobre todo o Israel, e administrava o juízo e a justiça a todo o seu povo.
16 Joabe, filho de Zeruia, era sobre o exército; Josafá, filho de Ailude, era cronista;
17 Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Aimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; Seraías era secretário;
18 Benaia, filho de Joiada, era sobre os quereteus e peleteus; e os filhos de Davi eram ministros de estado.
1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.
2 And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.
3 And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.
4 And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping 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 of the Aramaeans.
6 And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
7 And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.
8 And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.
9 And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,
10 He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:
11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome--
12 The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.
14 And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
15 And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
16 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;
17 And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
