BIBBIA CEI 2008	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In seguito Davide sconfisse i Filistei, li umiliò e prese Gat con le dipendenze dalle mani dei Filistei.	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 Moab, e i Moabiti 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 Adadèzer, re di Soba, verso Camat, 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 Adadèzer, re di Soba, ma Davide uccise ventiduemila Aramei.	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 Poi Davide pose guarnigioni nell’Aram di Damasco e gli Aramei divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide. Il Signore salvava 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 ai servi di Adadèzer gli scudi d’oro e li portò a 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 Adadèzer, Davide asportò una grande quantità di bronzo, con cui Salomone costruì il Mare 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 Quando Tou, re di Camat, udì che Davide aveva sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Adadèzer, re di Soba,	9 Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,
10 mandò al re Davide suo figlio Adoràm, per salutarlo e per benedirlo, perché aveva mosso guerra ad Adadèzer e l’aveva sconfitto; infatti Tou era sempre in guerra con Adadèzer. Adoràm gli portò vasi 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 Il re Davide consacrò anche quelli al Signore, insieme con l’argento e l’oro che aveva tolto a tutti gli altri popoli, agli Edomiti, ai Moabiti, agli Ammoniti, ai Filistei e agli 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 Abisài, figlio di Seruià, sconfisse nella valle del Sale diciottomila Edomiti.	12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
13 Stabilì guarnigioni in Edom e tutti gli Edomiti divennero sudditi di Davide. Il Signore salvava 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 suo popolo.	14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Ioab, figlio di Seruià, comandava l’esercito; Giòsafat, figlio di Achilùd, era archivista;	15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.
16 Sadoc, figlio di Achitùb, e Abimèlec, 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, figlio di Ioiadà, era capo dei Cretei e dei Peletei e 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.
