2 Samuel 8
1 Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them. And David took the bridle of tribute from the hand of the Philistines.
Después de esto aconteció que David derrotó a los filisteos y los sometió. David tomó la rienda de la ciudad principal de la mano de los filisteos.
2 And he struck Moab, and he measured them with a line, leveling them to the ground. Now he measured with two lines, one to kill, and one to keep alive. And Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
También derrotó a Moab y los midió con cordel. Los hacía tenderse en tierra: dos cordeles para morir, y un cordel para vivir. Los moabitas fueron esclavos de David y pagaron tributo.
3 And David struck Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, when he set out to rule over the river Euphrates.

4 And from his troops, David seized one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And he cut the sinew of the leg in all the chariot horses. But he left aside enough of them for one hundred chariots.

8 And from Betah and Beeroth, cities of Hadadezer, king David took an exceedingly great amount of brass.

9 Then Toi, the king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire strength of Hadadezer.
Cuando Toi, rey de Hamat, oyó que David venció a todo el ejército de Hadad-ezer,
10 And so, Toi sent his son Joram to king David, so that he might greet him with congratulations, and give thanks, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had struck him down. For indeed, Toi was the enemy of Hadadezer. And in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass.
Toi envió a su hijo Joram al rey David para saludarlo y felicitarlo por el combate y la derrota de Hadad-ezer, pues Toi era enemigo de Hadad-ezer. Joram trajo objetos de plata, oro y bronce en su mano,
11 And king David also sanctified these things to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the peoples whom he had subdued:
los cuales el rey David dedicó a Yavé, junto con la plata y el oro que tomó de todas las naciones sometidas:
12 from Syria, and Moab, and the sons Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amalek, and from the best spoils of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
de Aram, Moab, los amonitas, los filisteos, Amalec y del despojo de Hadad-ezer, hijo de Rehob, rey de Soba.
13 David also made a name for himself when he returned from seizing Syria, in the Valley of the Salt Pits, having cut down eighteen thousand.
David también ganó renombre para él cuando regresó de derrotar a 18.000 sirios en el valle de la Sal.
14 And he positioned guards in Edom, and he stationed a garrison. And all of Edom was made to serve David. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.
