Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Poslije toga David porazi Filistejce i pokori ih te ote Gat s njegovim selima iz filistejskih ruku.	1 After this David attacked the Philistines and conquered them, wresting. . . from the Philistines.
2 Porazi i Moapce i izmjeri ih uzicom polegavši ih po zemlji: dvije uzice odmjeri onih koje treba pogubiti, a jednu punu uzicu onih koje treba ostaviti na životu. Tako Moapci postadoše Davidovi podanici koji su mu donosili danak.	2 He also defeated Moab and then measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground. He told off two lengths of line for execution, and a full length to be spared. Thus the Moabites became tributary to David.
3 David je porazio i Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, sopskoga kralja, kad je izišao da proširi svoju vlast do Rijeke.	3 Next David defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to reestablish his dominion at the Euphrates River.
4 David zarobi od njega tisuću i sedam stotina konjanika i dvadeset tisuća pješaka; ispresijecao je petne žile svim konjima od bojnih kola; ostavio ih je samo stotinu.	4 David captured from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, preserving only enough for a hundred chariots.
5 Damaščanski su Aramejci došli u pomoć Hadadezeru, sopskome kralju, ali je David pobio među Aramejcima dvadeset i dvije tisuće ljudi.	5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to the aid of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David slew twenty-two thousand of them.
6 Postavio je namjesnike u Damaščanskom Aramu. Tako Aramejci postadoše Davidovi podanici i moradoše mu plaćati danak. Jahve je davao pobjedu Davidu kuda je god išao.	6 David then placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subjects, tributary to David. The LORD brought David victory in all his undertakings.
7 David zaplijeni zlatne štitove što ih imahu Hadadezerove sluge i donese ih u Jeruzalem.	7 David also took away the golden shields used by Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem. (These Shishak, king of Egypt, took away when he came to Jerusalem in the days of Rehoboam, son of Solomon.)
8 Iz Tebaha i iz Berotaja, Hadadezerovih gradova, donese kralj David silnu mjed.	8 From Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David removed a very large quantity of bronze.
9 Kad je čuo hamatski kralj Tou da je David porazio svu Hadadezerovu vojsku,	9 When Toi, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the forces of Hadadezer,
10 poslao je svoga sina Hadorama kralju Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu čestita što je vojevao protiv Hadadezera i porazio ga, jer je Hadadezer bio u ratu s Touom; Hadoram donese srebrnih, zlatnih i mjedenih predmeta.	10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet him and to congratulate him for his victory over Hadadezer in battle, because Toi had been in many battles with Hadadezer. Hadoram also brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze.
11 I njih kralj David posveti Jahvi sa srebrom i zlatom što ga bijaše uzeo od svih naroda koje je pokorio:	11 These, too, King David consecrated to the LORD, together with the silver and gold he had taken from every nation he had conquered:
12 od Aramaca, Moabaca, Amonaca, Filistejaca i od Amalečana te od plijena Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, kralja Sobe.	12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites, from the Philistines, from the Amalekites, and from the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 David steče novu slavu kad je na povratku porazio Edomce, u Slanoj dolini, osamnaest tisuća njih.	13 On his return, David became famous for having slain eighteen thousand Edomites in the Salt Valley;
14 I postavi upravitelje u Edomu, i svi Edomci postadoše podanici Davidovi. I kuda je god David išao, Jahve mu davaše pobjedu.	14 after which he placed garrisons in Edom. Thus all the Edomites became David's subjects, and the LORD brought David victory in all his undertakings.
15 David kraljevaše nad svim Izraelom, čineći pravo i pravicu svemu svome narodu.	15 David reigned over all Israel, judging and administering justice to all his people.
16 Joab, sin Sarvijin, zapovijedaše vojskom, a Jošafat, sin Ahiludov, bijaše ljetopisac.	16 Joab, son of Zeruiah, was in command of the army. Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was chancellor.
17 Sadok, sin Ahitubov, i Ebjatar, sin Ahimelekov, bijahu svećenici; Seraja bijaše državni pisar;	17 Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests. Shawsha was scribe.
18 Benaja, sin Jojadin, zapovijedaše Kerećanima i Pelećanima; Davidovi sinovi bijahu namjesnici.	18 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in command of the Cherethites and Pelethites. And David's sons were priests.
