BIBLES DES PEUPLES	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Après cela, David battit les Philistins et les soumit. Il leur enleva Gat et les villages aux alentours.	1 And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,
2 Il vainquit aussi les Moabites: ils devinrent les sujets de David et lui payèrent l’impôt.	2 And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David's servants, and brought him gifts.
3 David battit à Hamat Hadadézer, roi de Soba, alors qu’il cherchait à soumettre les régions de l’Euphrate.	3 At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates.
4 David captura un millier de chars, 7 000 cavaliers et 20 000 soldats d’infanterie. David fit couper les jarrets de tous les chevaux d’attelage, s’en réservant seulement une centaine.	4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.
5 Les Araméens de Damas vinrent à l’aide de Hadadézer, roi de Soba, mais David tua 22 000 hommes aux Araméens.	5 And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.
6 Puis David installa des gouverneurs à Aram de Damas; les Araméens furent soumis à David et lui payèrent le tribut. Partout où David passait, Yahvé lui donnait la victoire.	6 And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.
7 David s’empara des boucliers d’or des gardes de Hadadézer et les emporta à Jérusalem.	7 And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8 De Tibhat et de Koun, villes qui appartenaient à Hadadézer, David prit une grande quantité de bronze dont Salomon allait faire la Mer d’Airain, les colonnes et les ustensiles du Temple.	8 Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Lorsque Toou, roi de Hamat, apprit que David avait vaincu toute l’armée de Hadadézer, roi de Soba,	9 Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,
10 il envoya son fils Hadoram au roi David pour l’accueillir et le féliciter d’avoir combattu et vaincu Hadadézer, car Hadadézer était l’ennemi de Toou. Hadoram apporta toutes sortes d’objets en or, en argent et en bronze.	10 He sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.
11 Le roi David les consacra à Yahvé en même temps que les objets d’argent et d’or qu’il avait rapportés de toutes les nations: d’Édom, de Moab, des Ammonites, des Philistins, d’Amalec.	11 And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
12 David se rendit célèbre lorsqu’il revint d’avoir battu 18 000 Édomites dans la vallée du Sel.	12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
13 Il imposa des gouverneurs à Édom, et tous les Édomites furent soumis à David. Partout où David passait, Yahvé lui donnait la victoire.	13 And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.
14 David régnait sur tout Israël; il rendait la justice et défendait les droits de son peuple.	14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Joab fils de Sérouya, commandait l’armée; Yochafat fils d’Ahiloud était le porte-parole;	15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.
16 Sadoq fils d’Ahitoub, et Ahimélek fils d’Ébyatar étaient prêtres; Chavcha était scribe;	16 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
17 Bénayas fils de Yoyada, commandait aux Kérétiens et aux Pélétiens. Les fils de David étaient les premiers aux côtés du roi.	17 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.
