And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them; and he took Gath and its dependent towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne; og Moabiterne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter.
And he smote Moab, and the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.

David also smote Hadar'ezer the king of Zobah, at Chamath, as he went to establish his dominion at the river Euphrates.
4 David fratog ham 1.000 Vogne, 7.008 Ryttere og 20.000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Hestene lamme på hundrede nær, som han skånede.
And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot; and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams.
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 aid Hadar'ezer the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Derpå indsatte David Fogeder i det darmaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter. Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
Then did David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became unto David servants, bringing presents. And the Lord helped David withersoever he went.
7 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadar'ezers Folk havde båret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
And David took the quivers of gold that were on the servants of Hadar'ezer, 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 Tibchath, and from Kun, cities of Hadar'ezer, did David take exceedingly much copper; thereof made Solomon the copper sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of copper.
9 Men da Kong To'u af Hamat hørte, at David havde slået hele Kong Hadar'ezer af Zobas Stridsmagt,
And when To'u the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadar'ezer the king of Zobah:
10 sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse på ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadar'ezer og slået ham - Hadar'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'u - og han medbragte alle Hånde Sølv-, Guld og Kobbersager.
Then did he send Hadoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadar'ezer, and smitten him: for Hadar'ezer had been engaged in wars with To'u; and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and copper.
11 Også dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde taget fra alle Folkeslagene, Edom, Moab, Ammoniterne, Filisterne og Amalek.
Also these did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and the gold that he had carried away from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from 'Amalek.

And Abshai the son of Zeruyah smote of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand [men].

And he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants unto David. And the Lord helped David withersoever 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 he did what is just and right unto all his people.
