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 after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

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

And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought presents.

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 unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by 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 took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

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

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

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

Then David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought presents. And the LORD 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 on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought 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 Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

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 host 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 to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer had wars with Tou; and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

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.

These also did king David dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

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

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites 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 put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

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

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

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

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

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

and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

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

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
