Ii Samuelis 8

1 Factum est autem post haec percussit David Philisthiim, et humiliavit eos, et tulit David Frenum tributi de manu Philisthiim.

And it cometh to pass afterwards that David smiteth the Philistines, and humbleth them, and David taketh the bridle of the metropolis out of 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.

And he smiteth Moab, and measureth them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measureth two lines to put to death, and the fulness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are to David for servants, bearers of a present.

3 Et percussit David Adarezer filium Rohob regem Soba, quando profectus est ut dominaretur super flumen Euphraten.

And David smiteth Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates; ]

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 captureth from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth utterly the whole of the charioteers, only he leaveth of them a hundred charioteers.

5 Venit quoque Syria Damasci, ut praesidium ferret Adarezer regi Soba: et percussit David de Syria viginti duo millia virorum.

And Aram of Damascus cometh to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smiteth of Aram twenty and 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.

and David putteth garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is to David for a servant, bearing a present; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone;

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

and David taketh the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and bringeth 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 from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, hath king David taken very much brass.

9 Audivit autem Thou rex Emath, quod percussisset David omne robur Adarezer,

And Toi king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten all the force 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:

and Toi sendeth Joram his son unto king David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him, (because that he hath fought against Hadadezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars [with] Toi had Hadadezer been), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass,

11 quae et ipsa sanctificavit rex David Domino cum argento et auro, quae sanctificaverat de universis gentibus, quas subegerat,

also them did king David sanctify to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified 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 Aram, and of Moab, and of the Bene-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 reverteretur capta Syria in Valle Salinarum, caesis decem et octo millibus et in Gebelem ad viginti tria millia:

And David maketh a name in his turning back from his smiting Aram in the valley of Salt — eighteen thousand;

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.

and he putteth in Edom garrisons — in all Edom he hath put garrisons, and all Edom are servants to David; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone.

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

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

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

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