And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne; og Moabiterne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter.
And he smote the Moabites; and the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
3 Ligeledes slog David Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba i Nærheden af Hamat, da han var draget ud for at underlægge sig Egnene ved Eufratfloden.
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 David fratog ham 1000 Vogne, 7000 Ryttere og 20 000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Hestene lamme paa hundrede nær, som han skaanede.
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots.
5 Og da Aramæerne fra Darmaskus kom Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22 000 Mand af Aramæerne.
And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.

And David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadar'ezers Folk havde baaret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 og fra Hadar'ezers Byer, Tibhat og Kun, bortførte David Kobber i store Mængder; deraf lod Salomo Kobberhavet, Søjlerne og Kobbersagerne lave.
And from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Men da Kong To'u af Hamat hørte, at David havde slaaet hele Kong Hadar'ezer af Zobas Stridsmagt,
And Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10 sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse paa ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadar'ezer og slaaet ham — Hadar'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'u — og han medbragte alle Haande Sølv-, Guld og Kobbersager.
and he sent Hadoram his son to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer was continually at war with Tou; [he sent] also all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.
11 Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde taget fra alle Folkeslagene, Edom, Moab, Ammoniterne, Filisterne og Amalek.
Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had brought from all the nations: from the Edomites, and from the Moabites, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from the Amalekites.
12 Og Absjaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edom i Saltdalen, 18 000 Mand;
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
13 derpaa indsatte han Fogeder i Edom, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersaatter. Saaledes gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
And he put garrisons in Edom; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
14 Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
And David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice to all his people.
15 Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;
