1 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
3 ¶ And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates. 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses , but reserved of them an hundred chariots. 5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. 7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 ¶ Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; 10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 ¶ Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. 12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
13 ¶ And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
14 ¶ So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. 16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe; 17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
1 factum est autem post haec
ut percuteret David Philisthim et humiliaret eos
et tolleret Geth et filias eius de manu Philisthim
2 percuteretque Moab et fierent Moabitae servi David offerentes ei
munera
3 eo tempore percussit David etiam Adadezer regem Suba regionis Emath
quando perrexit ut dilataret imperium suum usque ad flumen Eufraten
4 cepit ergo David mille quadrigas eius
et septem milia equites
ac viginti milia virorum peditum
subnervavitque omnes equos curruum
exceptis centum quadrigis quas reservavit sibi
5 supervenit autem et Syrus damascenus
ut auxilium praeberet Adadezer regi Suba
sed et huius percussit David viginti duo milia virorum
6 et posuit milites in Damasco
ut Syria quoque serviret sibi et offerret munera
adiuvitque eum Dominus in cunctis ad quae perrexerat
7 tulit quoque David faretras aureas quas habuerant servi Adadezer
et adtulit eas in Hierusalem
8 nec non de Thebath et Chun urbibus Adadezer
aeris plurimum
de quo fecit Salomon mare aeneum et columnas et vasa aenea
9 quod cum audisset Thou rex Emath
percussisse videlicet David omnem exercitum Adadezer regis
Suba
10 misit Aduram filium suum ad regem David
ut postularet ab eo pacem et congratularetur ei
eo quod expugnasset et percussisset
Adadezer
adversarius quippe Thou erat Adadezer
11 sed et omnia vasa aurea et argentea et aenea consecravit rex
David Domino
cum argento et auro quod tulerat ex universis gentibus
tam de Idumea et Moab et filiis Ammon
quam de Philisthim et Amalech
12 Abisai vero filius Sarviae percussit Edom in valle Salinarum
decem et octo milia
13 et constituit in Edom praesidium ut serviret Idumea David
salvavitque Dominus David in cunctis ad quae perrexerat
14 regnavit ergo David super universum Israhel
et faciebat iudicium atque iustitiam cuncto populo suo
15 porro Ioab filius Sarviae erat super exercitum
et Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis
16 Sadoc autem filius Ahitob et Ahimelech filius Abiathar sacerdotes
et Susa scriba
17 Banaias vero filius Ioiada super
legiones Cherethi et Felethi
porro filii David primi ad manum regis
