David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.

David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.

Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7 David el eisla mwe loang gold liki poun mwet fulat lal Hadadezer, ac el us ma inge nu Jerusalem.
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.

he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
11 David el srela ma inge tuh in orekmakinyuk ke pacl in alu mukena, weang pac gold ac silver ma el tuh sruokya liki mutunfacl el kutangla inge:
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
12 Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, ac Amalek, weang pac kutu ma wap el tuh eisla sel Hadadezer.
from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Sifilpa yokelik pwengpeng lal David ke el foloko tukun el uniya singoul oalkosr tausin mwet Edom ke Infahlfal Sohl.
And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
