BIBBIA TINTORI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Dopo queste cose David percosse i Filistei, li umiliò e tolse Get e le città da lei dipendenti di mano ai 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 Percosse anche Moab, e i Moabiti divennero servi di David e suoi tributari.	2 And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David's servants, and brought him gifts.
3 In quel tempo David percosse anche Adarezer re di Soba nel pae­se di Emat, allorché egli si avanzò per dilatare il suo dominio fino al fiume Eufrate.	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 David gli prese mille quadrighe, sette mila cavalieri, venti mila pedoni, e tagliò i garetti a tutti i cavalli dei carri, eccettuate cento quadrighe che si riservò.	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 Or quando il Siro di Damasco gli venne addosso per soccorrere Adarezer re di Soba, David gli uccise ventidue mila uomini.	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 mise dei soldati in Damasco, per tener soggetta e tributaria la Siria. Il Signore lo aiutò in tutte le imprese in cui s'era messo.	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 David prese le faretre d'oro che avevano i servi di Adarezer, le portò a Gerusalemme,	7 And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8 come pure da Tebat, da Cun, città d'Adarezer, grande quantità di rame, col quale poi Salomone fece il mare di rame, le colonne e i vasi di rame.	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 Or quando Tou re di Emat intese che David aveva disfatto tutto l'esercito di Adarezer 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 il suo figlio Adoram al re David per chiedergli pace e per congratularsi con lui d'aver abbattuto e sconfitto Adarezer. Tou era nemico d'Adarezer.	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 Or tutti i vasi d'oro, d'argento e di rame il re David li consacrò al Signore, coll'argento e l'oro che egli aveva preso a tutte le genti: all'Idumea, a Moab, ai figli d'Ammon, ai Filistei, ad Amalec.	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 Inoltre Abisai figlio di Sarvia percosse diciotto mila Idumei nella Valle delle Saline,	12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
13 e pose un pre­sidio nell'Idumea, affinchè l'Idumea stesse soggetta a David. Il Signore salvò David in tutte le sue imprese.	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 David regnò sopra tutto Israele, rendendo ragione e giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.	14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Gioab figlio di Sarvia era capo dell'esercito; Giosafat figlio di Ahilud era lo storico;	15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.
16 Sadoc figlio di Achitob e Ahimelec figlio di Abiatar eran sacerdoti; Susa era segretario;	16 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
17 Banaia figlio di Ioiada comandava le legioni dei Ceretei e dei Feletei; e i figli di David erano i primi ministri 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.
