2Samuel 8

As vitórias de Davi sobre várias nações

1 *1Cr 18Depois disso, Davi bateu os filisteus, e os subjugou, e tirou das suas mãos as rédeas da metrópole.

2 *Nm 24.17Bateu também a *1Sm 22.3-4Moabe e mediu-os com cordel, fazendo-os deitar por terra; deles mediu dois cordéis para os matar e um cordel inteiro para os conservar em vida. *2Sm 8.6;1Rs 4.21;2Rs 3.4Os moabitas tornaram-se servos de Davi e *2Rs 17.3pagavam-lhe tributos.

3 Bateu também Davi *2Sm 10.16,19;1Sm 14.47a Hadadezer, filho de Reobe, rei de Zobá, *2Sm 10.15-19quando foi estabelecer o seu domínio sobre o rio. 4 Davi tomou-lhe mil e setecentos cavaleiros e vinte mil homens de pé; *Js 11.6,9jarretou a todos os cavalos dos carros, mas deles reservou para cem carros. 5 Quando os *1Rs 11.23-25;15.18siros de Damasco vieram socorrer a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, Davi matou dos siros vinte e dois mil homens. 6 Davi pôs guarnições em Síria de Damasco; *2Sm 8.2os siros tornaram-se servos de Davi e pagavam-lhe tributos. *2Sm 3.18Jeová guardava a Davi por onde quer que ele ia. 7 Tomou Davi os escudos de ouro, de que usavam os servos de Hadadezer, e levou-os para Jerusalém. 8 De Betá e de *Ez 47.16Berotai, cidades de Hadadezer, tomou o rei Davi bronze em grande quantidade.

9 Quando Toí, rei de *1Rs 8.65;2Cr 8.4Hamate, ouviu que Davi ferira toda a hoste de Hadadezer, 10 enviou-lhe seu filho Jorão para o saudar e para o abençoar, porque tinha pelejado contra Hadadezer e porque o tinha batido. Pois Hadadezer, de contínuo, fazia guerra a Toí. Jorão trouxe na sua mão vasos de prata, vasos de ouro e vasos de bronze, 11 *1Rs 7.51que o rei Davi consagrou a Jeová, juntamente com a prata e ouro que tinha consagrado de todas as nações que subjugara: 12 da Síria, *2Sm 8.2e de Moabe, *2Sm 10.14e dos filhos de Amom, *2Sm 5.17-25e dos filisteus, e *1Sm 27.8;30.17-20de Amaleque, e dos despojos de Hadadezer, filho de Reobe, rei de Zobá.

13 *2Sm 7.9Davi adquiriu para si grande nome, quando voltou de ferir os siros, *2Rs 14.7no vale do Sal, uns dezoito mil homens. 14 Pôs guarnições em Edom; em todo o Edom pôs guarnições, *Gn 27.37-40;Nm 24.17-18e todos os edomitas tornaram-se servos de Davi. *2Sm 8.6Jeová guardava a Davi por onde quer que ele ia.

15 Reinou Davi sobre todo o Israel e administrava o juízo e a justiça a todo o seu povo. 16 Joabe, filho de Zeruia, era sobre o exército; *1Rs 4.3Josafá, filho de Ailude, era *2Rs 18.18,37cronista; 17 *1Cr 6.4-8Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Aimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram *1Cr 16.39-40sacerdotes; Seraías era *2Rs 18.18secretário; 18 *1Rs 4.4Benaia, filho de Joiada, era sobre os *2Sm 15.18;20.7,23;1Sm 30.14;1Rs 1.38,44quereteus e peleteus; e os filhos de Davi eram *1Cr 18.17ministros de Estado.

1 After this, David struck the Philistines and subdued them; and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 He defeated Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

3 David also struck Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River. 4 David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them 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 Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a great quantity of bronze.

9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer, 10 then Toi sent Joram 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 Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze. 11 King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued— 12 of Syria, of Moab, of the children of Ammon, of the Philistines, of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 David earned a reputation when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt. 14 He put garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

15 David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness for all his people. 16 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder, 17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, Seraiah was scribe, 18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
