I Paralipomenon 18

1 Factum est autem post haec, ut percuteret David Philisthiim, et humiliaret eos, et tolleret Geth, et filias eius de manu Philisthiim,

And it comes to pass after this, that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and takes Gath and its small towns out of the hand of the Philistines;

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

and he strikes Moab, and the Moabites are servants to David, bringing 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 strikes Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, in his going to establish his power by the Euphrates River,

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 captures from him one thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys all the chariots, and leaves of them [only] one hundred chariots.

5 Supervenit autem et Syrus Damascenus, ut auxilium praeberet Adarezer regi Soba: sed et huius percussit David vigintiduo millia virorum.

And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men in Aram,

6 Et posuit milites in Damasco, ut Syria quoque serviret sibi, et offerret munera. Adiuvitque eum Dominus in cunctis, ad quae perrexerat.

and David puts [garrisons] in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans are for servants to David, carrying a present, and YHWH gives salvation to David wherever he has gone.

7 Tulit quoque David pharetras aureas, quas habuerant servi Adarezer, et attulit eas in Ierusalem.

And David takes the shields of gold that have been on the servants of Hadarezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;

8 Necnon de Thebath, et Chun urbibus Adarezer aeris plurimum, de quo fecit Salomon mare aeneum, et columnas, et vasa aenea.

and from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David has taken very much bronze; with it Solomon has 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,

And Tou king of Hamath hears that David has struck the whole 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.

and he sends his son Hadoram to King David, to ask of him of peace, and to bless him, because that he has fought against Hadarezer and strikes him (for Hadarezer had been a man of wars with Tou); and [with him were] all kinds of vessels, of gold, and silver, and bronze;

11 Sed et omnia vasa aurea, et argentea, et aenea consecravit David rex Domino, cum argento et auro, quod tulerat ex universis gentibus, tam de Idumaea, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, quam de Philisthiim et Amalec.

King David has also sanctified them to YHWH with the silver and the gold that he has taken 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 Sarviae percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum, decem et octo millia:

And Abishai son of Zeruiah has struck Edom in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand,

13 et constituit in Edom praesidium, ut serviret Idumaea David: salvavitque Dominus David in cunctis, ad quae perrexerat.

and he puts garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.

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

And David reigns over all Israel, and he is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,

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

and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,

16 Sadoc autem filius Achitob, et Ahimelech, filius Abiathar, sacerdotes: et Susa, scriba.

and Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar [are] priests, and Shavsha [is] scribe,

17 Banaias quoque filius Ioiadae super legiones Cerethi, et Phelethi: porro filii David, primi ad manum regis.

and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the chief sons of David [are] at the hand of the king.
