2 Batió también a los moabitas y los midió con la cuerda, haciendo que se echaran en tierra; midió dos cuerdas y los condenó a muerte, y una cuerda llena la dejó con vida. Los moabitas quedaron sometidos a David, pagando 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.

And he cut the sinew of the leg in all the chariot horses. But he left aside enough of them for one hundred chariots.

6 Y estableció David gobernadores en Aram de Damasco. Los arameos quedaron sometidos a David, pagando tributo; Yahveh hizo triunfar a David por dondequiera que iba.	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.
7 Tomó David los escudos de oro que llevaban los servidores de Hadadézer y los llevó a Jerusalén.	7 And David took the armbands of gold, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

10 y envió a su hijo Hadoram al rey David para saludarle y felicitarle por haber atacado y vencido a Hadadézer, ya que Tou estaba siempre en guerra con Hadadézer. Traía Hadoram vasos de plata, oro y bronce.	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.
11 El rey David los consagró también a Yahveh, con la plata y el oro consagrado procedente de todos los pueblos sometidos,	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:

13 David se hizo famoso cuando volvió de su victoria sobre los edomitas, en el valle de la Sal, en número de 18.000.	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.
14 Puso gobernadores en Edom y todos los edomitas quedaron sometidos a David, y Yahveh hizo triunfar a David dondequiera que iba.	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.
15 Reinó David sobre todo Israel, administrando derecho y justicia a todo su pueblo.	15 And David reigned over all of Israel. And David accomplished judgment and justice with all his people.
