Deuxième livre de Samuel 8

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Il advint après cela que David battit les Philistins et les abaissa. David prit des mains desPhilistins...	1 And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Il battit aussi les Moabites et les mesura au cordeau en les faisant coucher à terre: il en mesuradeux cordeaux à mettre à mort et un plein cordeau à laisser en vie, et les Moabites devinrent sujets de David etlui payèrent tribut.	2 And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
3 David battit Hadadézer, fils de Rehob, roi de Coba, lorsque celui-ci alla pour étendre son pouvoirsur le Fleuve.	3 David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.
4 David lui prit 1.700 charriers et 20.000 hommes de pied, et David coupa les jarrets de tous lesattelages, il n'en garda que cent.	4 And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and only reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5 Les Araméens de Damas vinrent au secours de Hadadézer, roi de Coba, mais David tua auxAraméens 22.000 hommes.	5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Puis David établit des gouverneurs dans l'Aram de Damas, et les Araméens devinrent sujets deDavid et lui payèrent tribut. Partout où David allait, Yahvé lui donna la victoire.	6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.
7 David prit les rondaches d'or que portait la garde de Hadadézer et les emporta à Jérusalem.	7 And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 De Tébah et de Bérotaï, villes de Hadadézer, le roi David enleva une énorme quantité de bronze.	8 And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.
9 Lorsque Tôou, roi de Hamat, apprit que David avait défait toute l'armée de Hadadézer,	9 And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.
10 il dépêcha son fils Hadoram au roi David pour le saluer et le féliciter d'avoir fait la guerre àHadadézer et de l'avoir vaincu, car Hadadézer était en guerre avec Tôou. Hadoram apportait des objets d'argent,d'or et de bronze.	10 And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:
11 Le roi David les consacra aussi à Yahvé, avec l'argent et l'or qu'il avait consacrés, provenant detoutes les nations qu'il avait subjuguées,	11 And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:
12 Aram, Moab, les Ammonites, les Philistins, Amaleq, provenant aussi du butin pris à Hadadézer,fils de Rehob, roi de Coba.	12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.
13 David acquit du renom lorsqu'il revint de battre les Edomites dans la vallée du Sel, au nombre de18.000.	13 David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:
14 Il établit des gouverneurs en Edom et tous les Edomites devinrent sujets de David. Partout oùDavid allait, Yahvé lui donna la victoire.	14 And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.
15 David régna sur tout Israël, faisant droit et justice à tout son peuple.	15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Joab, fils de Ceruya, commandait l'armée; Yehoshaphat, fils d'Ahilud, était héraut;	16 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
17 Sadoq et Ebyatar, fils d'Ahimélek, fils d'Ahitub, étaient prêtres; Seraya était secrétaire;	17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:
18 Benayahu, fils de Yehoyada, commandait les Kerétiens et les Pelétiens; les fils de David étaientprêtres.	18 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
