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 the bridle of the mother city 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 the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

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 dominion at the River.

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

And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a 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 succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David smote 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 tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

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

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,

And when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

10 et misit Thou Ioram 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 eius 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,

these also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the 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 revereteretur capta Syria in Valle Salinarum, cæsis decem et octo millibus:

And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even 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 the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

15 Et regnavit David super omnem Israel: faciebat quoque David iudicium et iustitiam omni populo suo.

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

16 Ioab autem filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum: porro Iosaphat filius Ahilud erat a commentariis:

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

17 et Sadoc filius Achitob, et Achimelech filius Abiathar, erant sacerdotes: et Saraias, scriba:

and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Seraiah was scribe;

18 Banaias autem filius Ioiadæ super cerethi et phelethi: filii autem David sacerdotes erant.

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
