CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them. And David took the bridle of tribute from the hand of the Philistines.	1 Dopo di ciò Davidde sconfisse i Filistei e gli umiliò, e tolse di mano a' Filistei il freno del tributo.
2 And he struck Moab, and he measured them with a line, leveling them to the ground. Now he measured with two lines, one to kill, and one to keep alive. And Moab was made to serve David under tribute.	2 E sconfisse i Moabiti, e distesi per terra li misurò colla corda: e di due corde di misura l’una menava alla morte, l’altra alla vita. E i Moabiti divennero servi, e tributarii di Davidde.
3 And David struck Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, when he set out to rule over the river Euphrates.	3 Parimente Davidde sconfisse Adarezer figliuolo di Rohob, re di Soba, allorché si mosse per conquistare il paese fino al fiume Eufrate.
4 And from his troops, David seized one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And he cut the sinew of the leg in all the chariot horses. But he left aside enough of them for one hundred chariots.	4 E David fece prigionieri mille settecento de' suoi cavalieri, e venti mila pedoni, e tagliò i garetti a tutti i cavalli de' cocchi, e di quei cocchi ne riserbò cento.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus arrived, so that they might bring reinforcements to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And David struck down twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.	5 E i Siri di Damasco si mossero per dare ajuto ad Adarezer re di Soba: e David uccise ventidue mila Siri.
6 And David positioned a garrison in Syria of Damascus. And Syria served David under tribute. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.	6 E pose David presidio nella Siria di Damasco: e la Siria fu serva, e tributaria di David: e il Signore conservò David in tutti i luoghi dove andò.
7 And David took the armbands of gold, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.	7 E prese David le armi d'oro che avevano i cortigiani di Adarezer, e portolle a Gerusalemme.
8 And from Betah and Beeroth, cities of Hadadezer, king David took an exceedingly great amount of brass.	8 E quantità grandissima di rame portò via David da Bete, e da Beroth, città di Adarezer.
9 Then Toi, the king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire strength of Hadadezer.	9 Ma Thou re di Emath avendo udito, come David avea disfatto tutto il nerbo delle forze di Adarezer,
10 And so, Toi sent his son Joram to king David, so that he might greet him with congratulations, and give thanks, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had struck him down. For indeed, Toi was the enemy of Hadadezer. And in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass.	10 Mandò Joram suo figliuolo al re David a salutarlo, e congratularsi con lui, e rendergli grazie dell'avere fiaccato, e disfatto Adarezer: perocché questi era nimico di Thou, e (Joram) portava seco vasi d'oro, di argento, e di bronzo:
11 And king David also sanctified these things to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the peoples whom he had subdued:	11 I quali il re David consacrò al Signore insieme coll’oro e coll’argento consacrato da lui di tutte le genti, che avea soggiogate,
12 from Syria, and Moab, and the sons Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amalek, and from the best spoils of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.	12 Della Siria, e di Moab, e de' figliuoli di Ammon de’ Filistei, e di Amalec, e colle spoglie di Adarezer figliuolo di Rohob, re di Soba.
13 David also made a name for himself when he returned from seizing Syria, in the Valley of the Salt Pits, having cut down eighteen thousand.	13 Acquistò ancor molta gloria Davidde, allorché ritornando dalla conquista della Siria, uccise diciotto mila uomini nella valle delle Saline.
14 And he positioned guards in Edom, and he stationed a garrison. And all of Edom was made to serve David. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.	14 E pose governatori nell'Idumea, e un presidio di soldati: e l'Idumea tutta quanta fu soggetta a David. E il Signore custodì Davidde in tutti i luoghi, dov'egli andò.
15 And David reigned over all of Israel. And David accomplished judgment and justice with all his people.	15 David pertanto regnò sopra tutto Israele: e rendeva ragione e amministrava giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
16 Now Joab, the son Zeruiah, was over the army. And Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.	16 E Gioab figliuolo di Sarvia era capitano dell'esercito: e Josaphath figliuolo di Abilud era sua segretario.
17 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Seraiah was the scribe.	17 E Sadoc figliuolo di Achibob, e Achimelech figliuolo di Abiathar erano sommi sacerdoti e Saraia scrivano.
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were priests.	18 E Banaia figliuolo di Jojada era capo dì quelli di Cerethi, e di Phelethi; e i figliuoli di David erano i primi presso il re.
