I Paralipomenon 18
1 Factum est autem post hæc, ut percuteret David Philisthiim, et humiliaret eos, et tolleret Geth, et filias eius de manu Philisthiim,
And it canto to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and took Gath and her villages, out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 percuteretque Moab, et fierent Moabitæ servi David, offerentes ei munera.
And he smote Moab, —and the Moabites became servants to David, bearers of a present.
3 Eo tempore percussit David etiam Adarezer regem Soba regionis Hemath, quando perrexit ut dilataret imperium suum usque ad flumen Euphraten.
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath, —as he went to establish his hold of the river Euphrates.
4 Cepit ergo David mille quadrigas eius, et septem millia equitum, ac viginti millia virorum peditum, subnervavitque omnes equos curruum, exceptis centum quadrigis, quas reservavit sibi.
And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, saving that he reserved from them a hundred chariots.
5 Supervenit autem et Syrus Damascenus, ut auxilium præberet Adarezer regi Soba: sed et huius percussit David vigintiduo millia virorum.
And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.
6 Et posuit milites in Damasco, ut Syria quoque serviret sibi, et offerret munera. Adiuvitque eum Dominus in cunctis, ad quæ perrexerat.
And David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus, and so it was that the Syrians became, David’s, servants, bearers of a present, —so Yahweh gave victory to David, whithersoever he went.
7 Tulit quoque David pharetras aureas, quas habuerant servi Adarezer, et attulit eas in Ierusalem.
And David took the shields of gold, that were upon the servants of Hadarezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;
8 Necnon de Thebath, et Chun urbibus Adarezer æris plurimum, de quo fecit Salomon mare æneum, et columnas, et vasa ænea.
also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze, —therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
9 Quod cum audisset Thou rex Hemath, percussisse videlicet David omnem exercitum Adarezer regis Soba,
And, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had smitten all the force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
10 misit Adoram filium suum ad regem David, ut postularet ab eo pacem, et congratularetur ei quod percussisset, et expugnasset Adarezer: adversarius quippe erat Thou Adarezer.
he sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had made war against Hadarezer and had smitten him, for, a man making wars against Tou, had been Hadarezer, —and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze;
11 Sed et omnia vasa aurea, et argentea, et ænea consecravit David rex Domino, cum argento et auro, quod tulerat ex universis gentibus, tam de Idumæa, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, quam de Philisthiim et Amalec.
them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations, —from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 Abisai vero filius Sarviæ percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum, decem et octo millia:
Moreover, Abishai, son of Zeruiah, smote Edom, in the Valley of Salt, —eighteen thousand;
13 et constituit in Edom præsidium, ut serviret Idumæa David: salvavitque Dominus David in cunctis, ad quæ perrexerat.
and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.
14 Regnavit ergo David super universum Israel, et faciebat iudicium atque iustitiam cuncto populo suo.
So David reigned over all Israel, —and he was executing justice and righteousness for all his people;
15 Porro Ioab filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum, et Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis.
and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Elihud, was recorder;
16 Sadoc autem filius Achitob, et Ahimelech, filius Abiathar, sacerdotes: et Susa, scriba.
and, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Shavsha, was scribe;
17 Banaias quoque filius Ioiadæ super legiones Cerethi, et Phelethi: porro filii David, primi ad manum regis.
and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, were first, in attendance on the king.
