Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1After this, David struck the Philistines and subdued them; and David took the bridle of the mother city out of 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.
2He defeated Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought 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 struck Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.
3Καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὸν Ἁδρααζὰρ υἱὸν Ῥαὰβ, βασιλέα Σουβὰ, πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην.
4David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for one hundred 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 Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty two thousand men of the Syrians.
5Καὶ παραγίνεται Συρία Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι τῷ Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλεῖ Σουβὰ, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.
6Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David 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.
7David took the shields of gold that were on the servants 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.
8From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a great quantity 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 Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,
9Καὶ ἤκουσε Θοοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡμὰθ, ὅτι ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν Ἀδρααζὰρ,
10then Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, vessels of gold, and vessels of 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.
11King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued—
11Καὶ ταῦτα ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ, μετὰ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ μετὰ τοῦ χρυσίου οὗ ἡγίασεν ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων ὧν κατεδυνάστευσεν,
12of Syria, of Moab, of the children of Ammon, of the Philistines, of Amalek, and of the plunder 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.
13David earned a reputation when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt.
13Καὶ ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ ὄνομα· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀνακάμπτειν αὐτὸν ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐν Γεβελὲμ εἰς ὀκτωκαίδεκα χιλιάδας.
14He put garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David 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.
15David reigned over all Israel; and David executed 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 the son of Zeruiah was over the army, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder,
16Καὶ Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ἐπὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς· καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀχιλοὺδ ἐπὶ τῶν ὑπομνημάτων·
17Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, Seraiah was scribe,
17καὶ Σαδὼκ υἱὸς Ἀχιτὼβ καὶ Ἀχιμέλεχ υἱὸς Ἀβιάθαρ ἱερεῖς· καὶ Σασὰ ὁ γραμματεύς·
18Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
18καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ σύμβουλος· καὶ ὁ Χελεθὶ, καὶ ὁ Φελετὶ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ αὐλάρχαι ἦσαν.
