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.

1 E, depois disso, aconteceu que Davi feriu os filisteus e os abateu; tomou a Gate e os lugares da sua jurisdição da mão dos filisteus. 2 Também feriu os moabitas, e os moabitas ficaram servos de Davi, trazendo presentes.

3 Também Davi feriu a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, junto a Hamate, indo ele estabelecer os seus domínios pelo rio Eufrates. 4 E Davi lhe tomou mil cavalos de carros, e sete mil cavaleiros, e vinte mil homens de pé; e Davi jarretou todos os cavalos dos carros, porém reservou deles cem cavalos. 5 E vieram os siros de Damasco a ajudar a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá; porém dos siros feriu Davi vinte e dois mil homens. 6 E Davi pôs guarnições na Síria de Damasco, e os siros ficaram servos de Davi, trazendo presentes; e o Senhor guardava a Davi, por onde quer que ia. 7 E tomou Davi os escudos de ouro que tinham os servos de Hadadezer e os trouxe a Jerusalém. 8 Também de Tibate e de Cum, cidades de Hadadezer, tomou Davi muitíssimo cobre, de que Salomão fez o mar de cobre, e as colunas, e os utensílios de cobre.

9 E, ouvindo Toú, rei de Hamate, que Davi destruíra todo o exército de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, 10 mandou seu filho Hadorão a Davi, para lhe perguntar como estava, e para o abençoar, por haver pelejado com Hadadezer e o destruir (porque Hadadezer fazia guerra a Toú), enviando-lhe juntamente toda sorte de vasos de ouro, e de prata, e de cobre, 11 os quais Davi também consagrou ao Senhor, juntamente com a prata e ouro que trouxera de todas as mais nações: dos edomitas, e dos moabitas, e dos filhos de Amom, e dos filisteus, e dos amalequitas.

12 Também Abisai, filho de Zeruia, feriu a dezoito mil edomitas no vale do Sal. 13 E pôs guarnições em Edom, e todos os edomitas ficaram servos de Davi; e o Senhor guardava a Davi, por onde quer que ia.

14 E Davi reinou sobre todo o Israel; fazia juízo e justiça a todo o seu povo. 15 E Joabe, filho de Zeruia, tinha cargo do exército; e Josafá, filho de Ailude, era chanceler. 16 E Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Abimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; e Sausa, escrivão. 17 E Benaia, filho de Joiada, tinha cargo dos quereteus e peleteus; porém os filhos de Davi, os primeiros, estavam à mão do rei.
