דברי הימים א 18

1 וַֽיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵן וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּכְנִיעֵם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־גַּת וּבְנֹתֶיהָ מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 וַיַּךְ אֶת־מוֹאָב וַיִּהְיוּ מוֹאָב עֲבָדִים לְדָוִיד נֹשְׂאֵי מִנְחָֽה׃

He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.

3 וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד אֶת־הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ־צוֹבָה חֲמָתָה בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לְהַצִּיב יָדוֹ בִּֽנְהַר־פְּרָֽת׃

David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, toward Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

4 וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִיד מִמֶּנּוּ אֶלֶף רֶכֶב וְשִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים פָּרָשִׁים וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ רַגְלִי וַיְעַקֵּר דָּוִיד אֶת־כׇּל־הָרֶכֶב וַיּוֹתֵר מִמֶּנּוּ מֵאָה רָֽכֶב׃

David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one hundred chariots.

5 וַיָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּרְמֶשֶׂק לַעְזוֹר לַהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד בַּאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִֽים־וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃

When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

6 וַיָּשֶׂם דָּוִיד בַּאֲרַם דַּרְמֶשֶׂק וַיְהִי אֲרָם לְדָוִיד עֲבָדִים נֹשְׂאֵי מִנְחָה וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהֹוָה לְדָוִיד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽךְ׃

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

7 וַיִּקַּח דָּוִיד אֵת שִׁלְטֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ עַל עַבְדֵי הֲדַדְעָזֶר וַיְבִיאֵם יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 וּמִטִּבְחַת וּמִכּוּן עָרֵי הֲדַדְעֶזֶר לָקַח דָּוִיד נְחֹשֶׁת רַבָּה מְאֹד בָּהּ ׀ עָשָׂה שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־יָם הַנְּחֹשֶׁת וְאֶת־הָֽעַמּוּדִים וְאֵת כְּלֵי הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃

From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

9 וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעוּ מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִיד אֶת־כׇּל־חֵיל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ־צוֹבָֽה׃

When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

10 וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־הֲדֽוֹרָם־בְּנוֹ אֶל־הַמֶּֽלֶךְ־דָּוִיד (לשאול) [לִשְׁאׇל־]לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם וּֽלְבָרְכוֹ עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי־אִישׁ מִלְחֲמוֹת תֹּעוּ הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וְכֹל כְּלֵי זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּנְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

he 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 Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.

11 גַּם־אֹתָם הִקְדִּישׁ הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד לַֽיהֹוָה עִם־הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר נָשָׂא מִכׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם מֵאֱדוֹם וּמִמּוֹאָב וּמִבְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵעֲמָלֵֽק׃

King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 וְאַבְשַׁי בֶּן־צְרוּיָה הִכָּה אֶת־אֱדוֹם בְּגֵיא הַמֶּלַח שְׁמוֹנָה עָשָׂר אָֽלֶף׃

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13 וַיָּשֶׂם בֶּאֱדוֹם נְצִיבִים וַיִּהְיוּ כׇל־אֱדוֹם עֲבָדִים לְדָוִיד וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהֹוָה אֶת־דָּוִיד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽךְ׃

He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

14 וַיִּמְלֹךְ דָּוִיד עַל־כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְהִי עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃

David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.

15 וְיוֹאָב בֶּן־צְרוּיָה עַל־הַצָּבָא וִיהוֹשָׁפָט בֶּן־אֲחִילוּד מַזְכִּֽיר׃

Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

16 וְצָדוֹק בֶּן־אֲחִיטוּב וַאֲבִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן־אֶבְיָתָר כֹּהֲנִים וְשַׁוְשָׁא סוֹפֵֽר׃

Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was scribe;

17 וּבְנָיָהוּ בֶּן־יְהוֹיָדָע עַל־הַכְּרֵתִי וְהַפְּלֵתִי וּבְנֵי־דָוִיד הָרִֽאשֹׁנִים לְיַד הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.
