Ii Samuelis 8
1 Factum est autem post haec percussit David Philisthiim, et humiliavit eos, et tulit David Frenum tributi de manu Philisthiim.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Et percussit Moab, et mensus est eos funiculo, coaequans terrae: mensus est autem duos funiculos, unum ad occidendum, et unum ad vivificandum: factusque est Moab David serviens sub tributo.
David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
3 Et percussit David Adarezer filium Rohob regem Soba, quando profectus est ut dominaretur super flumen Euphraten.
David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates 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.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
5 Venit quoque Syria Damasci, ut praesidium ferret Adarezer regi Soba: et percussit David de Syria viginti duo millia virorum.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
6 Et posuit David praesidium in Syria Damasci: factaque est Syria David serviens sub tributo: servavitque Dominus David in omnibus ad quaecumque profectus est.
Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7 Et tulit David arma aurea, quae habebant servi Adarezer, et detulit ea in Ierusalem.
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Et de Bete, et de Beroth, civitatibus Adarezer tulit rex David aes multum nimis, de quo fecit Salomon omnia vasa aurea in templo: et mare aeneum, et columnas et altare.
And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
9 Audivit autem Thou rex Emath, quod percussisset David omne robur Adarezer,
When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army 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 aerea:
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
11 quae et ipsa sanctificavit rex David Domino cum argento et auro, quae sanctificaverat de universis gentibus, quas subegerat,
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
12 de Syria, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, et Philisthiim, et Amalec, et de manubiis Adarezer filii Rohob regis Soba.
from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Fecit quoque sibi David nomen cum reverteretur capta Syria in Valle Salinarum, caesis decem et octo millibus et in Gebelem ad viginti tria millia:
And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 et posuit in Idumaea custodes, statuitque praesidium: et facta est universa Idumaea serviens David. et servavit Dominus David in omnibus ad quaecumque profectus est.
He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
15 Et regnavit David super omnem Israel: faciebat quoque David iudicium et iustitiam omni populo suo.
Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
16 Ioab autem filius Sarviae erat super exercitum: porro Iosaphat filius Ahilud erat a commentariis:
Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
17 et Sadoc filius Achitob, et Achimelech filius Abiathar, erant sacerdotes: et Saraias, scriba:
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
18 Banaias autem filius Ioiadae super cerethi et phelethi: filii autem David sacerdotes erant.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
