撒母耳记下 8
1 此后，大卫攻打非利士人，把他们治服，从他们手下夺取了京城的权柄；
And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 又攻打摩押人，使他们躺卧在地上，用绳量一量：量二绳的杀了，量一绳的存留。摩押人就归服大卫，给他进贡。
And David smote Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.
3 琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢往大河去，要夺回他的国权。大卫就攻打他，
And David smote Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.
4 擒拿了他的马兵一千七百，步兵二万，将拉战车的马砍断蹄筋，但留下一百辆车的马。
And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.
5 大马士革的亚兰人来帮助琐巴王哈大底谢，大卫就杀了亚兰人二万二千。
And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David smote twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
6 于是大卫在大马士革的亚兰地设立防营，亚兰人就归服他，给他进贡。大卫无论往哪里去，耶和华都使他得胜。
And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 他夺了哈大底谢臣仆所拿的金盾牌，带到耶路撒冷。
And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
8 大卫王又从属哈大底谢的比他和比罗他城中夺取了许多的铜。
And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.
9 哈马王陀以听见大卫杀败哈大底谢的全军，
And Thou the king of Hemath heard that David had smitten all the host of Adraazar.
10 就打发他儿子约兰去见大卫王，问他的安，为他祝福，因为他杀败了哈大底谢（原来陀以与哈大底谢常常争战）。约兰带了金银铜的器皿来，
And Thou sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and smiting him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
11 大卫王将这些器皿和他治服各国所得来的金银都分别为圣，献给耶和华，
And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered,
12 就是从亚兰、摩押、亚扪、非利士、亚玛力人所得来的，以及从琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢所掠之物。
out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
13 大卫在盐谷击杀了亚兰一万八千人回来，就得了大名；
And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he smote Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
14 又在以东全地设立防营，以东人就都归服大卫。大卫无论往哪里去，耶和华都使他得胜。
And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
15 大卫作以色列众人的王，又向众民秉公行义。
And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people.
16 洗鲁雅的儿子约押作元帅；亚希律的儿子约沙法作史官；
And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.
17 亚希突的儿子撒督和亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒作祭司长；西莱雅作书记；
And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe,
18 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统辖基利提人和比利提人。大卫的众子都作领袖。
and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.
