1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Devid meriri ndị Filistia. Mee ka ha nọdụ nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya. Ọ naara obodo Meteg-Amaa site nʼọchịchị ndị Filistia.
Sometime after this, David attacked and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah from the them.

David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground, and he measured them with a length of cord. He measured two lengths for those to be killed, and one cord length for those to be allowed to live. So he made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes.
3 Devid merikwara Hadadeza nwa Rehob, eze Zoba. Mgbe ọ gara inweghachita ogidi e jiri mara ya, nʼakụkụ osimiri Yufretis.
David also defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he tried to enforce his control along the Euphrates River.

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 Mgbe ndị Aram nke Damaskọs bịara inyere Hadadeza eze Zoba aka, Devid gburu iri puku ndị agha abụọ na abụọ nʼime ha.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of them.

He placed garrisons in Aramean kingdom with its capital in Damascus, and made the Arameans subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
7 Devid chịkọtara ọta ọlaedo ndịisi agha Hadadeza ji lụọ agha webata ha na Jerusalem.
David took the shields of gold that belonged to Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.

he sent his son Joram 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. Joram brought all kinds of gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Eze Devid doro akụrụngwa ndị a niile nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, dịka o si mee ọlaọcha na ọlaedo si na mba niile ndị ọ lụgburu.
King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the nations he had subdued:
