Ii Samuelis 8

1 Factum est autem post hæc, percussit David Philisthiim, et humiliavit eos, et tulit David frenum tributi de manu Philisthiim.

And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg–ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 Et percussit Moab, et mensus est eos funiculo, coæquans terræ: mensus est autem duos funiculos, unum ad occidendum, et unum ad vivificandum: factusque est Moab David serviens sub tributo.

And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

3 Et percussit David Adarezer filium Rohob regem Soba, quando profectus est ut dominaretur super flumen Euphraten.

David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

4 Et captis David ex parte ejus mille septingentis equitibus, et viginti millibus peditum, subnervavit omnes jugales curruum: dereliquit autem ex eis centum currus.

And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

5 Venit quoque Syria Damasci, ut præsidium ferret Adarezer regi Soba: et percussit David de Syria viginti duo millia virorum.

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6 Et posuit David præsidium in Syria Damasci: factaque est Syria David serviens sub tributo: servavitque Dominus David in omnibus ad quæcumque profectus est.

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And Yhwh preserved David whithersoever he went.

7 Et tulit David arma aurea quæ habebant servi Adarezer, et detulit ea in Jerusalem.

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

8 Et de Bete et de Beroth, civitatibus Adarezer, tulit rex David æs multum nimis.

And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

9 Audivit autem Thou rex Emath quod percussisset David omne robur Adarezer,

When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the army of Hadadezer,

10 et misit Thou Joram filium suum ad regem David, ut salutaret eum congratulans, et gratias ageret: eo quod expugnasset Adarezer, et percussisset eum. Hostis quippe erat Thou Adarezer, et in manu ejus erant vasa aurea, et vasa argentea, et vasa ærea:

Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

11 quæ et ipsa sanctificavit rex David Domino cum argento et auro quæ sanctificaverat de universis gentibus quas subegerat,

Which also king David did dedicate unto Yhwh, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

12 de Syria, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, et Philisthiim, et Amalec, et de manubiis Adarezer filii Rohob regis Soba.

Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 Fecit quoque sibi David nomen cum reverteretur capta Syria in valle Salinarum, cæsis decem et octo millibus:

And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.

14 et posuit in Idumæa custodes, statuitque præsidium: et facta est universa Idumæa serviens David, et servavit Dominus David in omnibus ad quæcumque profectus est.

And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And Yhwh preserved David whithersoever he went.

15 Et regnavit David super omnem Israël: faciebat quoque David judicium et justitiam omni populo suo.

And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

16 Joab autem filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum: porro Josaphat filius Ahilud erat a commentariis:

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