1 Depois disto feriu Davi os filisteus, subjugou-os e tomou das mãos deles a Gate e suas aldeias.

2 Também feriu a Moabe; os moabitas tornaram-se servos de Davi, e pagavam tributos.

3 Também Davi feriu a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, até Hamate, quando ia estabelecer o seu domínio junto ao rio Eufrates.

4 Davi tomou-lhe mil carros, e sete mil cavaleiros, e vinte mil homens de pé; Davi jarretou todos os cavalos dos carros, mas reservou deles para cem carros.

5 Tendo vindo os siros de Damasco em socorro de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, Davi feriu deles vinte e dois mil homens.

6 Então Davi pôs guarnições em Síria de Damasco; os siros tornaram-se servos de Davi, e pagavam tributos. Jeová dava vitória a Davi por onde quer que ia.

7 Davi tomou os escudos de ouro, que tinham os servos de Hadadezer, e os trouxe para Jerusalém.

8 De Tibate, e de Cum, cidades de Hadadezer, tomou Davi muitíssimo bronze, de que Salomão fez o mar de bronze, as colunas e os vasos de bronze.

9 Quando Toú, rei de Hamate, ouviu que Davi tinha ferido todo o exército de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá,

10 enviou seu filho Hadorão ao rei Davi, para o saudar e para o abençoar, por ter pelejado contra Hadadezer e por tê-lo ferido (porque Hadadezer fazia guerra a Toú). Ele trouxe consigo toda a sorte de vasos de ouro, de prata e de bronze.

11 A estes também consagrou o rei Davi a Jeová, juntamente com a prata e ouro que tinha levado de todas as nações: de Edom, de Moabe, dos filhos de Amom, dos filisteus e de Amaleque.

12 Além disso Abisai, filho de Zeruia, feriu dos edomitas dezoito mil no Vale do Sal.

13 Pôs guarnições em Edom, e todos os edomitas tornaram-se servos de Davi. Jeová dava vitória a Davi por onde quer que ia.

14 Davi reinou sobre todo o Israel; e fazia juízo e justiça a todo o seu povo.

15 Joabe, filho de Zeruia, comandava o exército; Josafá, filho de Ailude, era cronista;

16 Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Abimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; Sausa era secretário;

17 Benaia, filho de Joiada, comandava os quereteus e peleteus; e os filhos de Davi eram os primeiros junto à pessoa do rei.

1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.

2 And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.

3 Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.

4 And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only 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 Aramaeans.

6 Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

7 And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.

8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.

9 Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,

10 He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.

12 And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,

13 David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

14 So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

15 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.

16 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;

17 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
