1Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
1Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐτροπώσατο αὐτούς· καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τὴν ἀφωρισμένην ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
2David 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.
2Καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὴν Μωὰβ, καὶ διεμέτρησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν σχοινίοις, κοιμίσας αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐγένετο τὰ δύο σχοινίσματα τοῦ θανατῶσαι, καὶ τὰ δύο σχοινίσματα ἐζώγρησε· καὶ ἐγένετο Μωὰβ τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς δούλους φέροντας ξένια.
3David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
3Καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὸν Ἁδρααζὰρ υἱὸν Ῥαὰβ, βασιλέα Σουβὰ, πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην.
4David 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.
4Καὶ προκατελάβετο Δαυὶδ τῶν αὐτοῦ χίλια ἅρματα, καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἱππέων, καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν· καὶ παρέλυσε Δαυὶδ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα, καὶ ὑπελείπετο ἑαυτῷ ἑκατὸν ἅρματα.
5When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
5Καὶ παραγίνεται Συρία Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι τῷ Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλεῖ Σουβὰ, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.
6Then 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.
6Καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ φρουρὰν ἐν Συρίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Δαμασκὸν, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ Σύρος τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς δούλους φέροντας ξένια· καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο.
7And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
7Καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τοὺς χλιδῶνας τοὺς χρυσοῦς, οἳ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τῶν παίδων τῶν Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλέως Σουβὰ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὰ Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου, ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν ἡμέραις Ῥοβοὰμ υἱοῦ Σαλωμῶντος.
8And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
8Καὶ ἐκ τῆς Μετεβὰκ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν πόλεων τοῦ Ἀδρααζὰρ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ χαλκὸν πολὺν σφόδρα· ἐν αὐτῷ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν, καὶ τοὺς στύλους, καὶ τοὺς λουτῆρας, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη.
9When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
9Καὶ ἤκουσε Θοοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡμὰθ, ὅτι ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν Ἀδρααζὰρ,
10he 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,
10καὶ ἀπέστειλε Θοοὺ Ἰεδδουρὰμ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς βασιλέα Δαυὶδ ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ εὐλογῆσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπολέμησε τὸν Ἀδρααζὰρ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν, ὅτι ἀντικείμενος ἦν τῷ Ἀδρααζάρ· καὶ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἦσαν σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ, καὶ σκεύη χρυσᾶ, καὶ σκεύη χαλκᾶ.
11and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
11Καὶ ταῦτα ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ, μετὰ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ μετὰ τοῦ χρυσίου οὗ ἡγίασεν ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων ὧν κατεδυνάστευσεν,
12from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
12ἐκ τῆς Ἰδουμαίας, καὶ ἐκ τῆς Μωὰβ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐξ Ἀμαλὴκ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν σκύλων Ἀδρααζὰρ υἱοῦ Ῥαὰβ βασιλέως Σουβά.
13And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13Καὶ ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ ὄνομα· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀνακάμπτειν αὐτὸν ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐν Γεβελὲμ εἰς ὀκτωκαίδεκα χιλιάδας.
14He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
14Καὶ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ φρουρὰν, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ· καὶ ἐγένοντο πάντες οἱ Ἰδουμαῖοι δοῦλοι τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο.
15Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
15Καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
16Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
16Καὶ Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ἐπὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς· καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀχιλοὺδ ἐπὶ τῶν ὑπομνημάτων·
17Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
17καὶ Σαδὼκ υἱὸς Ἀχιτὼβ καὶ Ἀχιμέλεχ υἱὸς Ἀβιάθαρ ἱερεῖς· καὶ Σασὰ ὁ γραμματεύς·
18Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
18καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ σύμβουλος· καὶ ὁ Χελεθὶ, καὶ ὁ Φελετὶ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ αὐλάρχαι ἦσαν.
