1 Chronicles 18
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he captured Gath and its nearby towns from the Philistines.
Factum est autem post hæc, ut percuteret David Philisthiim, et humiliaret eos, et tolleret Geth, et filias eius de manu Philisthiim,
2 David also defeated the Moabites, making them subject to him and requiring them to pay taxes.
percuteretque Moab, et fierent Moabitæ servi David, offerentes ei munera.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, as he tried enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
Eo tempore percussit David etiam Adarezer regem Soba regionis Hemath, quando perrexit ut dilataret imperium suum usque ad flumen Euphraten.
4 David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
Cepit ergo David mille quadrigas eius, et septem millia equitum, ac viginti millia virorum peditum, subnervavitque omnes equos curruum, exceptis centum quadrigis, quas reservavit sibi.
5 When the Arameans from Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them.
Supervenit autem et Syrus Damascenus, ut auxilium præberet Adarezer regi Soba: sed et huius percussit David vigintiduo millia virorum.
6 David placed forces in the Aramean town of Damascus, and also made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
Et posuit milites in Damasco, ut Syria quoque serviret sibi, et offerret munera. Adiuvitque eum Dominus in cunctis, ad quæ perrexerat.
7 David took the shields of gold that were carried by Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
Tulit quoque David pharetras aureas, quas habuerant servi Adarezer, et attulit eas in Ierusalem.
8 David also took a large quantity of bronze from Tibhath and from Cun, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer. Solomon used that bronze to make the bronze sea, the columns, and the various bronze objects.
Necnon de Thebath, et Chun urbibus Adarezer æris plurimum, de quo fecit Salomon mare æneum, et columnas, et vasa ænea.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
Quod cum audisset Thou rex Hemath, percussisse videlicet David omnem exercitum Adarezer regis Soba,
10 he sent his son Hadoram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Hadoram brought gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
misit Adoram filium suum ad regem David, ut postularet ab eo pacem, et congratularetur ei quod percussisset, et expugnasset Adarezer: adversarius quippe erat Thou Adarezer.
11 King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the following nations: Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites.
Sed et omnia vasa aurea, et argentea, et ænea consecravit David rex Domino, cum argento et auro, quod tulerat ex universis gentibus, tam de Idumæa, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, quam de Philisthiim et Amalec.
12 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, killed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Abisai vero filius Sarviæ percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum, decem et octo millia:
13 He set up army posts in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
et constituit in Edom præsidium, ut serviret Idumæa David: salvavitque Dominus David in cunctis, ad quæ perrexerat.
14 David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
Regnavit ergo David super universum Israel, et faciebat iudicium atque iustitiam cuncto populo suo.
15 Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, while Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
Porro Ioab filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum, et Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis.
16 Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were the priests, while Shavsha was secretary.
Sadoc autem filius Achitob, et Ahimelech, filius Abiathar, sacerdotes: et Susa, scriba.
17 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were at the king's side, serving as his chief officials.
Banaias quoque filius Ioiadæ super legiones Cerethi, et Phelethi: porro filii David, primi ad manum regis.
