< 1 Chronicles 18 >
1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.
Después de esto derrotó David a los filisteos y los sojuzgó, arrebatando a Gat y sus aldeas de las manos de los filisteos.
2 And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.
Derrotó también a Moab; y los moabitas se sometieron a David y le pagaron tributo.
3 Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.
Asimismo venció David a Hadaréser, rey de Sobá, en Hamat, cuando este iba a establecer su dominio sobre el río Éufrates.
4 And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
David le quitó mil carros, siete mil soldados de a caballo y veinte mil hombres de a pie; y desjarretó David todos los tiros de carro, dejando de ellos solamente para cien carros.
5 And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.
Cuando los sirios de Damasco vinieron en socorro de Hadaréser, rey de Sobá, derrotó David a veinte y dos mil sirios.
6 Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
David puso (guarniciones) en la Siria de Damasco, y los sirios se sometieron a David y le pagaron tributo. Yahvé asistía a David dondequiera que iba.
7 And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.
David tomó, además, los escudos de oro con que los siervos de Hadaréser se protegían y los llevó a Jerusalén.
8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.
En Tibat y Cun, ciudades de Hadaréser, se apoderó David de una gran cantidad de bronce, con el cual hizo Salomón el mar de bronce, las columnas y los utensilios de bronce.
9 Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
Cuando Tou, rey de Hamat, supo que David había derrotado a todo el ejército de Hadaréser, rey de Sobá,
10 He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
envió a Hadoram, su hijo, al rey David para saludarle y para bendecirle por haber atacado a Hadaréser, pues Tou era enemigo de Hadaréser; y (trajo Hadoram) toda clase de objetos de oro, de plata y de bronce,
11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.
que el rey David consagró a Yahvé, además de la plata y el oro que había tomado a todas las naciones: a Edom, a Moab, a los hijos de Ammón, a los filisteos y a los amalecitas.
12 And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,
Abisai, hijo de Sarvia, derrotó en el Valle de la Sal diez y ocho mil idumeos,
13 David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
y puso guarniciones en Edom; y todos los idumeos quedaron sometidos a David. Así asistió Yahvé a David en todas sus empresas.
14 So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
David reinó sobre todo Israel, y hacía juicio y justicia a todo el pueblo.
15 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.
Joab, hijo de Sarvia, estaba al frente del ejército; Josafat, hijo de Ahilud, era cronista;
16 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;
Sadoc, hijo de Ahitob, y Abimelec, hijo de Abiatar, eran sacerdotes; Savsa era secretario;
17 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
Banaías, hijo de Joiadá, mandaba a los cereteos y feleteos; y los hijos de David eran los primeros junto al rey.
