2 Samuel 8
1 Und es begab sich danach, daß David die Philister schlug und schwächte sie; und nahm den Dienstzaum von der Philister Hand.
After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took the bridle of Ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Er schlug auch die Moabiter also zu Boden, daß er zwei Teile zum Tode brachte und ein Teil beim Leben ließ. Also wurden die Moabiter David untertänig, daß sie ihm Geschenke zutrugen.
He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.
3 David schlug auch Hadadeser, den Sohn Rehobs, König zu Zoba, da er hinzog, seine Macht wieder zu holen an dem Wasser Phrath.
David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.
4 Und David fing aus ihnen tausend und siebenhundert Reiter und zwanzigtausend Fußvolks; und verlähmte alle Wagen und behielt übrig hundert Wagen.
And David took from him a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5 Es kamen aber die Syrer von Damaskus, zu helfen Hadadeser, dem Könige zu Zoba; und David schlug der Syrer zweiundzwanzigtausend Mann
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Arameans two and twenty thousand men.
6 und legte Volk gen Damaskus in Syrien. Also ward Syrien David untertänig, daß sie ihm Geschenke zutrugen. Denn der HERR half David, wo er hinzog.
Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
7 Und David nahm die güldenen Schilde, die Hadadesers Knechten waren, und brachte sie gen Jerusalem.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem, which, later on, were also taken by Shishak king of Egypt in the days of Rehoboam son of Solomon when he went up to Jerusalem.
8 Aber von Betah und Berothai, den Städten Hadadesers, nahm der König David fast viel Erzes.
From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.
9 Da aber Thoi, der König zu Hemath, hörete, daß David hatte alle Macht des Hadadeser geschlagen,
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,
10 sandte er Joram, seinen Sohn, zu David, ihn freundlich zu grüßen und ihn zu segnen, daß er wider Hadadeser gestritten und ihn geschlagen hatte (denn Thoi hatte einen Streit mit Hadadeser), und er hatte mit sich silberne, güldene und eherne Kleinode,
then Toi sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
11 welche der König David auch dem HERRN heiligte samt dem Silber und Golde, das er dem HERRN heiligte von allen Heiden, die er unter sich brachte:
The King also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;
12 von Syrien, von Moab, von den Kindern Ammon, von den Philistern, von Amalek, vom Raube Hadadesers, des Sohns Rehobs, Königs zu Zoba.
of Edom, and of Moab, and of the people of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Auch machte ihm David einen Namen, da er wiederkam und die Syrer schlug im Salztal, achtzehntausend.
And David made a name for himself when he returned from defeating the Arameans. And Abishai son of Zeruiah defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt--eighteen thousand.
14 Und er legte Volk in ganz Edomäa, und ganz Edom war David unterworfen; denn der HERR half David, wo er hinzog.
And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
15 Also ward David König über ganz Israel, und er schaffte Recht und Gerechtigkeit allem Volk.
And David reigned over Israel, exercising justice and righteousness for all his people.
16 Joab, der Sohn Zerujas, war über das Heer; Josaphat aber, der Sohn Ahiluds, war Kanzler;
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was in charge of the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17 Zadok, der Sohn Ahitobs, und Ahimelech, der Sohn Abjathars, waren Priester; Seraja war Schreiber;
