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 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.
