1 Depois disso, Davi derrotou os filisteus e os subjugou, e tirou do controle deles a cidade de Gate e seus povoados.
2 Davi derrotou também os moabitas, que ficaram sujeitos a ele, pagando-lhe impostos.
3 Além disso, Davi derrotou Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, nas proximidades de Hamate, quando Hadadezer tentava obter o controle na região do rio Eufrates.
4 Davi se apossou de mil dos seus carros de guerra, sete mil cavaleiros e vinte mil soldados de infantaria. Ainda levou cem cavalos de carros de guerra, e aleijou todos os outros.
5 Quando os arameus de Damasco vieram ajudar Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, Davi matou vinte e dois mil deles.
6 Em seguida estabeleceu guarnições militares no reino dos arameus de Damasco, sujeitando-os a lhe pagarem impostos. E o Senhor dava vitórias a Davi aonde quer que ele fosse.
7 Davi também levou para Jerusalém os escudos de ouro usados pelos oficiais de Hadadezer.
8 De Tebá e Cum, cidades que pertenciam a Hadadezer, o rei Davi levou grande quantidade de bronze, que Salomão utilizou para fazer o tanque de bronze, as colunas e vários utensílios.
9 Quando Toú, rei de Hamate, soube que Davi tinha derrotado todo o exército de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá,
10 enviou seu filho Hadorão ao rei Davi para saudá-lo e parabenizá-lo por sua vitória na batalha contra Hadadezer, que tinha estado em guerra com Toú. E, com Hadorão, mandou todo tipo de utensílios de ouro, de prata e de bronze.
11 O rei Davi consagrou esses utensílios ao Senhor, como fizera com a prata e o ouro tomados de todas estas nações: Edom e Moabe, os amonitas e os filisteus, e Amaleque.
12 Abisai, filho de Zeruia, derrotou dezoito mil edomitas no vale do Sal.
13 Depois colocou guarnições militares em Edom, sujeitando todos os edomitas a Davi. O Senhor dava vitórias a Davi aonde quer que ele fosse.
14 Davi reinou sobre todo o Israel, administrando o direito e a justiça a todo o seu povo.
15 Joabe, filho de Zeruia, era comandante do exército; Josafá, filho de Ailude, era o arquivista real;
16 Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Aimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; Sausa era secretário;
17 Benaia, filho de Joiada, comandava os queretitas e os peletitas; e os filhos do rei Davi eram seus principais oficiais.
1 And it canto to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them,and took Gath and her villages, out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he smote Moab,and the Moabites became servants to David, bearers of a present.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath,as he went to establish his hold of the river Euphrates.
4 And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen,and David destroyed all the chariots, saving that he reserved from them a hundred chariots.
5 And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.
6 And David put in Syria of Damascus, and so it was that the Syrians became, Davids, servants, bearers of a present,so Yahweh gave victory to David, whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold, that were upon the servants of Hadarezer,and brought them to Jerusalem;
8 also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze,therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
9 And, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had smitten all the force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
10 he sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had made war against Hadarezer and had smitten him, for, a man making wars against Tou, had been Hadarezer,and all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze;
11 them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations,from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 Moreover, Abishai, son of Zeruiah, smote Edom, in the Valley of Salt,eighteen thousand;
13 and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David,and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.
14 So David reigned over all Israel,and he was executing justice and righteousness for all his people;
15 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army,and, Jehoshaphat, son of Elihud, was recorder;
16 and, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, were priests,and, Shavsha, was scribe;
17 and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites, and the Pelethites,and, the sons of David, were first, in attendance on the king.
