1 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי־כֵן וַיַּךְ דָּוִד אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּכְנִיעֵם וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד אֶת־מֶתֶג הָאַמָּה מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּים | 1 And 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. |
2 וַיַּךְ אֶת־מֹואָב וַיְמַדְּדֵם בַּחֶבֶל הַשְׁכֵּב אֹותָם אַרְצָה וַיְמַדֵּד שְׁנֵי־חֲבָלִים לְהָמִית וּמְלֹא הַחֶבֶל לְהַחֲיֹות וַתְּהִי מֹואָב לְדָוִד לַעֲבָדִים נֹשְׂאֵי מִנְחָה | 2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. |
3 וַיַּךְ דָּוִד אֶת־הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן־רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צֹובָה בְּלֶכְתֹּו לְהָשִׁיב יָדֹו בִּנְהַר־ (פְּרָת ׃ ק) | 3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates. |
4 וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִד מִמֶּנּוּ אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע־מֵאֹות פָּרָשִׁים וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ רַגְלִי וַיְעַקֵּר דָּוִד אֶת־כָּל־הָרֶכֶב וַיֹּותֵר מִמֶּנּוּ מֵאָה רָכֶב | 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. |
5 וַתָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּמֶּשֶׂק לַעְזֹר לַהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צֹובָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִד בַּאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִים־וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִישׁ | 5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. |
6 וַיָּשֶׂם דָּוִד נְצִבִים בַּאֲרַם דַּמֶּשֶׂק וַתְּהִי אֲרָם לְדָוִד לַעֲבָדִים נֹושְׂאֵי מִנְחָה וַיֹּשַׁע יְהוָה אֶת־דָּוִד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָךְ | 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. |
7 וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד אֵת שִׁלְטֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ אֶל עַבְדֵי הֲדַדְעָזֶר וַיְבִיאֵם יְרוּשָׁלִָם | 7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. |
8 וּמִבֶּטַח וּמִבֵּרֹתַי עָרֵי הֲדַדְעָזֶר לָקַח הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד נְחֹשֶׁת הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד׃ ס | 8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass. |
9 וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעִי מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִד אֵת כָּל־חֵיל הֲדַדְעָזֶר | 9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer, |
10 וַיִּשְׁלַח תֹּעִי אֶת־יֹורָם־בְּנֹו אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ־דָּוִד לִשְׁאָל־לֹו לְשָׁלֹום וּלְבָרֲכֹו עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי־אִישׁ מִלְחֲמֹות תֹּעִי הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וּבְיָדֹו הָיוּ כְּלֵי־כֶסֶף וּכְלֵי־זָהָב וּכְלֵי נְחֹשֶׁת | 10 Then 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 Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass: |
11 גַּם־אֹתָם הִקְדִּישׁ הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לַיהוָה עִם־הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ מִכָּל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר כִּבֵּשׁ | 11 Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; |
12 מֵאֲרָם וּמִמֹּואָב וּמִבְּנֵי עַמֹּון וּמִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵעֲמָלֵק וּמִשְּׁלַל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן־רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צֹובָה | 12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. |
13 וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִד שֵׁם בְּשֻׁבֹו מֵהַכֹּותֹו אֶת־אֲרָם בְּגֵיא־מֶלַח שְׁמֹונָה עָשָׂר אָלֶף | 13 And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. |
14 וַיָּשֶׂם בֶּאֱדֹום נְצִבִים בְּכָל־אֱדֹום שָׂם נְצִבִים וַיְהִי כָל־אֱדֹום עֲבָדִים לְדָוִד וַיֹּושַׁע יְהוָה אֶת־דָּוִד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָךְ | 14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. |
15 וַיִּמְלֹךְ דָּוִד עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְהִי דָוִד עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה לְכָל־עַמֹּו | 15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. |
16 וְיֹואָב בֶּן־צְרוּיָה עַל־הַצָּבָא וִיהֹושָׁפָט בֶּן־אֲחִילוּד מַזְכִּיר | 16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; |
17 וְצָדֹוק בֶּן־אֲחִיטוּב וַאֲחִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן־אֶבְיָתָר כֹּהֲנִים וּשְׂרָיָה סֹופֵר | 17 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe; |
18 וּבְנָיָהוּ בֶּן־יְהֹויָדָע וְהַכְּרֵתִי וְהַפְּלֵתִי וּבְנֵי דָוִד כֹּהֲנִים הָיוּ׃ פ | 18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers. |
