Παραλειπομένων Αʹ 18
1 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐπάταξεν Δαυιδ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐτροπώσατο αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν Γεθ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he captured Gath and its nearby towns from the Philistines.
2 καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὴν Μωαβ καὶ ἦσαν Μωαβ παῖδες τῷ Δαυιδ φέροντες δῶρα
David also defeated the Moabites, making them subject to him and requiring them to pay taxes.
3 καὶ ἐπάταξεν Δαυιδ τὸν Αδρααζαρ βασιλέα Σουβα Ημαθ πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην
David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, as he tried enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
4 καὶ προκατελάβετο Δαυιδ αὐτῶν χίλια ἅρματα καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἵππων καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν καὶ παρέλυσεν Δαυιδ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα καὶ ὑπελίπετο ἐξ αὐτῶν ἑκατὸν ἅρματα
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.
5 καὶ ἦλθεν Σύρος ἐκ Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι Αδρααζαρ βασιλεῖ Σουβα καὶ ἐπάταξεν Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν
When the Arameans from Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them.
6 καὶ ἔθετο Δαυιδ φρουρὰν ἐν Συρίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Δαμασκόν καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Δαυιδ εἰς παῖδας φέροντας δῶρα καὶ ἔσῳζεν κύριος τὸν Δαυιδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο
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.
7 καὶ ἔλαβεν Δαυιδ τοὺς κλοιοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς οἳ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας Αδρααζαρ καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ιερουσαλημ
David took the shields of gold that were carried by Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 καὶ ἐκ τῆς μεταβηχας καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν πόλεων τῶν Αδρααζαρ ἔλαβεν Δαυιδ χαλκὸν πολὺν σφόδρα ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν καὶ τοὺς στύλους καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ χαλκᾶ
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.
9 καὶ ἤκουσεν Θωα βασιλεὺς Ημαθ ὅτι ἐπάταξεν Δαυιδ τὴν πᾶσαν δύναμιν Αδρααζαρ βασιλέως Σουβα
When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Ιδουραμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Δαυιδ τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπολέμησεν τὸν Αδρααζαρ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν ὅτι ἀνὴρ πολέμιος Θωα ἦν τῷ Αδρααζαρ καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ
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.
11 καὶ ταῦτα ἡγίασεν Δαυιδ τῷ κυρίῳ μετὰ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου οὗ ἔλαβεν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐξ Ιδουμαίας καὶ Μωαβ καὶ ἐξ υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐξ Αμαληκ
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.
12 καὶ Αβεσσα υἱὸς Σαρουια ἐπάταξεν τὴν Ιδουμαίαν ἐν κοιλάδι τῶν ἁλῶν ὀκτὼ καὶ δέκα χιλιάδας
Abishai, son of Zeruiah, killed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13 καὶ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι φρουράς καὶ ἦσαν πάντες οἱ Ιδουμαῖοι παῖδες Δαυιδ καὶ ἔσῳζεν κύριος τὸν Δαυιδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο
He set up army posts in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
14 καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Δαυιδ ἐπὶ πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ ἦν ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην τῷ παντὶ λαῷ αὐτοῦ
David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
15 καὶ Ιωαβ υἱὸς Σαρουια ἐπὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς καὶ Ιωσαφατ υἱὸς Αχιλουδ ὑπομνηματογράφος
Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, while Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
16 καὶ Σαδωκ υἱὸς Αχιτωβ καὶ Αχιμελεχ υἱὸς Αβιαθαρ ἱερεῖς καὶ Σουσα γραμματεὺς
Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were the priests, while Shavsha was secretary.
17 καὶ Βαναιας υἱὸς Ιωδαε ἐπὶ τοῦ χερεθθι καὶ τοῦ φελεθθι καὶ υἱοὶ Δαυιδ οἱ πρῶτοι διάδοχοι τοῦ βασιλέως
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.
