1 Stalo se potom, že porazil David Filistinské, a zemdlil je, a vzal Gát i vesnice jeho z ruky Filistinských.
2 Porazil také i Moábské, a učiněni jsou Moábští služebníci Davidovi, a dávali jemu plat.
3 Porazil též David Hadarezera krále Soba v Emat, když byl vytáhl, aby opanoval řeku Eufrates.
4 A pobral mu David tisíc vozů, a sedm tisíc jízdných, a dvadceti tisíc mužů pěších, a zpodřezoval David žily všechněm koňům vozníkům. Toliko zanechal z nich ke stu vozům.
5 Přitáhli pak byli Syrští od Damašku na pomoc Hadarezerovi králi Soba, ale David porazil z Syrských dvamecítma tisíc mužů.
6 Tedy osadil David Syrii Damašskou. I učiněni jsou Syrští služebníci Davidovi, dávajíce plat; nebo zachovával Hospodin Davida, kamž se koli obrátil.
7 Pobral také David štíty zlaté, kteréž měli služebníci Hadarezerovi, a přinesl je do Jeruzaléma.
8 Z Tibchat též a z Chun, měst Hadarezerových, nabral David mědi velmi mnoho, z kteréž potom slil Šalomoun moře měděné, a sloupy i nádobí měděné.
9 A když uslyšel Tohu král Emat, že porazil David všecko vojsko Hadarezera krále Soba,
10 Poslal Adorama syna svého k králi Davidovi, aby ho pozdravil přátelsky, a spolu se s ním radoval z toho, že bojoval s Hadarezerem, a porazil ho; (nebo válčil Tohu s Hadarezerem). Kterýžto přinesl všelijaké nádoby zlaté a stříbrné i měděné.
11 Ty také obětoval král David Hospodinu s stříbrem a zlatem, kteréhož byl nabral ze všech národů, z Idumejských, z Moábských, z synů Ammon, z Filistinských, i z Amalechitských.
12 Abizai také syn Sarvie porazil Idumejských v údolí solnatém osmnácte tisíc.
13 Protož i nad Idumejskými postavil stráž, a učiněni jsou všickni Idumejští služebníci Davidovi; nebo zachovával Hospodin Davida, kamž se koli obrátil.
14 A tak kraloval David nade vším Izraelem, a činil soud a spravedlnost všemu lidu svému.
15 Joáb pak syn Sarvie byl nad vojskem, a Jozafat syn Achiludův byl kancléřem.
16 Sádoch také syn Achitobův a Abimelech syn Abiatarův byli kněžími, a Susa byl písařem.
17 Banaiáš pak syn Joiadův byl nad Cheretejskými a Peletejskými, a synové Davidovi knížaty při králi.
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.
