After this it happened, that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 percuteretque Moab, et fierent Moabitæ servi David, offerentes ei munera.

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

3 Eo tempore percussit David etiam Adarezer regem Soba regionis Hemath, quando perrexit ut dilataret imperium suum usque ad flumen Euphraten.

David struck Hadadezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Perath.

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

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

Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever 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 on the servants of Hadadezer, 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.

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

9 Quod cum audisset Thou rex Hemath, percussisse videlicet David omnem exercitum Adarezer regis Soba,

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

The King also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he took from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the people of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 Abisai vero filius Sarviæ percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum, decem et octo millia:

14 Regnavit ergo David super universum Israel, et faciebat iudicium atque iustitiam cuncto populo suo.

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

15 Porro Ioab filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum, et Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis.
