2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
Factum est autem post hæc percussit David Philisthiim, et humiliavit eos, et tulit David Frenum tributi de manu Philisthiim.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
Et percussit Moab, et mensus est eos funiculo, coæquans terræ: mensus est autem duos funiculos, unum ad occidendum, et unum ad vivificandum: factusque est Moab David serviens sub tributo.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Et percussit David Adarezer filium Rohob regem Soba, quando profectus est ut dominaretur super flumen Euphraten.
4 David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
Et captis David ex parte eius mille septingentis equitibus, et viginti millibus peditum, subnervavit omnes iugales curruum: dereliquit autem ex eis centum currus.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Venit quoque Syria Damasci, ut præsidium ferret Adarezer regi Soba: et percussit David de Syria viginti duo millia virorum.
6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Et posuit David præsidium in Syria Damasci: factaque est Syria David serviens sub tributo: servavitque Dominus David in omnibus ad quæcumque profectus est.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
Et tulit David arma aurea, quæ habebant servi Adarezer, et detulit ea in Ierusalem.
8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
Et de Bete, et de Beroth, civitatibus Adarezer tulit rex David æs multum nimis.
9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Audivit autem Thou rex Emath, quod percussisset David omne robur Adarezer,
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
et misit Thou Ioram filium suum ad regem David, ut salutaret eum congratulans, et gratias ageret: eo quod expugnasset Adarezer, et percussisset eum. Hostis quippe erat Thou Adarezer, et in manu eius erant vasa aurea, et vasa argentea, et vasa ærea:
11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
quæ et ipsa sanctificavit rex David Domino cum argento et auro, quæ sanctificaverat de universis gentibus, quas subegerat,
12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
de Syria, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, et Philisthiim, et Amalec, et de manubiis Adarezer filii Rohob regis Soba.
13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Fecit quoque sibi David nomen cum revereteretur capta Syria in Valle Salinarum, cæsis decem et octo millibus:
14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
et posuit in Idumæa custodes, statuitque præsidium: et facta est universa Idumæa serviens David. et servavit Dominus David in omnibus ad quæcumque profectus est.
15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
Et regnavit David super omnem Israel: faciebat quoque David iudicium et iustitiam omni populo suo.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Ioab autem filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum: porro Iosaphat filius Ahilud erat a commentariis:
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
et Sadoc filius Achitob, et Achimelech filius Abiathar, erant sacerdotes: et Saraias, scriba:
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
Banaias autem filius Ioiadæ super cerethi et phelethi: filii autem David sacerdotes erant.
