1 factum est autem post haec ut percuteret David Philisthim et humiliaret eos et tolleret Geth et filias eius de manu Philisthim

Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its 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 David’s servants, and brought tribute.

3 eo tempore percussit David etiam Adadezer regem Suba regionis Emath quando perrexit ut dilataret imperium suum usque ad flumen Eufraten

And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

4 cepit ergo David mille quadrigas eius et septem milia equites ac viginti milia 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: David also hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

5 supervenit autem et Syrus damascenus ut auxilium praeberet Adadezer regi Suba sed et huius percussit David viginti duo milia virorum

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew 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 Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

7 tulit quoque David faretras aureas quas habuerant servi Adadezer et adtulit eas in Hierusalem

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 Adadezer aeris plurimum de quo fecit Salomon mare aeneum et columnas et vasa aenea

Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought very much brass, with which Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 quod cum audisset Thou rex Emath percussisse videlicet David omnem exercitum Adadezer regis Suba

Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

10 misit Aduram filium suum ad regem David ut postularet ab eo pacem et congratularetur ei eo quod expugnasset et percussisset Adadezer adversarius quippe Thou erat Adadezer

He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had warred with Tou; ) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11 sed et omnia vasa aurea et argentea et aenea consecravit rex David Domino cum argento et auro quod tulerat ex universis gentibus tam de Idumea et Moab et filiis Ammon quam de Philisthim et Amalech

Them also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these 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 milia

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

13 et constituit in Edom praesidium ut serviret Idumea David salvavitque Dominus David in cunctis ad quae perrexerat

And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

14 regnavit ergo David super universum Israhel et faciebat iudicium atque iustitiam cuncto populo suo

So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15 porro Ioab filius Sarviae erat super exercitum et Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis

16 Sadoc autem filius Ahitob et Ahimelech filius Abiathar sacerdotes et Susa scriba
