1 Crônicas 18

1 Depois disso, Davi derrotou os filisteus e os submeteu. Arrebatou de suas mãos Gat e suas cidades anexas.

2 Em seguida, derrotou os moabitas que se tornaram seus vassalos e lhe pagaram tributo.

3 Davi venceu, em seguida, Adadezer, rei de Soba, em Emat, quando estava a caminho para estabelecer seu domínio sobre as margens do Eufrates.

4 Davi tomou-lhe mil carros, sete mil cavaleiros e vinte mil soldados de infantaria. Cortou os jarretes de todos os cavalos de tiro e deles conservou somente cem.

5 Os sírios de Damasco vieram em socorro de Adadezer, rei de Soba; Davi matou vinte e dois mil deles.

6 A seguir, estabeleceu guarnições na Síria de Damasco; os sírios tornaram-se seus vassa­los e lhe pagaram tributo. Assim, o Senhor lhe dava vitórias em todas as campanhas.

7 Davi apoderou-se dos escudos de ouro com os quais se cobriam os servos de Adadezer e os transportou para Jerusalém.

8 Em Tebat e em Cun, cidades de Adadezer, tomou ainda Davi grande quantidade de bronze, as colunas e os utensílios de bronze.

9 Quando Toú, rei de Emat, soube que Davi tinha desfeito todo o exército de Adadezer, rei de Soba,

10 enviou-lhe Adoram, seu filho, para saudá-lo e felicitá-lo por ter atacado Adadezer e por tê-lo vencido; porque Toú estava em contínua guerra com Adadezer. Enviou-lhe também toda a espécie de vasos de ouro, de prata e de bronze.

11 O rei Davi consagrou-os ao Senhor com o ouro e a prata que tinha tomado de todas as nações pagãs, em Edom, em Moab, dos amonitas, dos filisteus e de Amalec.

12 Abisaí, filho de Sárvia, derrotou os idumeus no vale do Sal: eram dezoito mil.

13 Colocou guarnições em Edom e todo Edom ficou sujeito a Davi. O Senhor dava a vitória a Davi aonde quer que fosse.

14 Davi reinou sobre todo o Israel, julgando e fazendo justiça a todo o seu povo.

15 Joab, filho de Sárvia, comandava o exército; Josa­fá, filho de Ailud, era arquivista;

16 Sadoc, filho de Aquitob, e Abimelec, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; Su­sa era secretário;

17 Banaías, filho de Joiada, era chefe dos cereteus e dos fele­teus. Os filhos de Davi eram os primeiros ao lado do rei.

1 After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.

3 David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, toward Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. 4 David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one hundred chariots. 5 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went. 7 David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

9 When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10 he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze. 11 King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 13 He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

14 David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people. 15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was scribe; 17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.
