1And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them; and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
1Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita ʻa Metekiama mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.

6Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought presents. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went.
6Pea naʻe toki tuku ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau ke leʻo ʻi Silia ʻo Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa kiate ia . Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.

9And when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
9¶ Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Toi ko e tuʻi ʻo Hemati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa,
10then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him — because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi — and he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
10Naʻe toki ʻave ai ʻe Toi ʻa Solami ko hono foha kia Tevita ko e tuʻi, ke feʻiloaki mo ia, pea ke fakamālō kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia: he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Toi. Pea naʻe ʻave mo Solami ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa:
11These also did king David dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued:
