BIBBIA CEI 1974	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In seguito Davide sconfisse i Filistei, li piegò e tolse loro Gat con le dipendenze.	1 And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,
2 Quindi sconfisse i Moabiti, che divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide.	2 And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David's servants, and brought him gifts.
3 Davide sconfisse anche Hadad-Èzer, re di Zoba, verso Amat, nella sua marcia verso il fiume Eufrate per stabilirvi il suo dominio.	3 At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates.
4 Davide gli prese mille carri, settemila cavalieri e ventimila fanti. Davide poi fece tagliare i garretti a tutti i cavalli, risparmiandone un centinaio.	4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.
5 Gli Aramei di Damasco andarono in aiuto di Hadad-Èzer, re di Zoba, ma Davide ne uccise ventiduemila.	5 And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.
6 Davide mise guarnigioni in Aram di Damasco; gli Aramei divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide. Il Signore rese vittorioso Davide in ogni sua impresa.	6 And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.
7 Davide prese gli scudi d'oro agli ufficiali di Hadad-Èzer e li portò in Gerusalemme.	7 And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Da Tibcat e da Cun, città di Hadad-Èzer, Davide asportò una grande quantità di bronzo, con cui Salomone costruì il bacino di bronzo, le colonne e i vari arredi di bronzo.	8 Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Tou re di Amat, saputo che Davide aveva sconfitto tutto l'esercito di Hadad-Èzer re di Zoba,	9 Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,
10 mandò Adoram suo figlio per salutare il re Davide e per felicitarsi con lui d'avere assalito e vinto Hadad-Èzer, poiché Tou era sempre in guerra con Hadad-Èzer; Adoram portava con sé oggetti d'oro, d'argento e di bronzo.	10 He sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.
11 Anche tali oggetti il re Davide li consacrò al Signore insieme con l'argento e l'oro che aveva preso da tutti gli altri popoli, ossia da Edom, da Moab, dagli Ammoniti, dai Filistei e dagli Amaleciti.	11 And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
12 Abisai figlio di Zeruià sconfisse nella Valle del sale diciottomila Idumei.	12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
13 Pose guarnigioni in Edom; tutti gli Idumei divennero sudditi di Davide. Il Signore rendeva vittorioso Davide in ogni sua impresa.	13 And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.
14 Davide regnò su tutto Israele e rese giustizia con retti giudizi a tutto il popolo.	14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Ioab figlio di Zeruià comandava l'esercito; Giòsafat figlio di Achilud era archivista.	15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.
16 Zadòk figlio di Achitùb e Abimèlech figlio di Ebiatàr erano sacerdoti; Savsa era scriba.	16 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
17 Benaià figli di Ioiadà comandava i Cretei e i Peletei; i figli di Davide erano i primi al fianco del re.	17 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.
