2 Samuel 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	DIODATI
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.	1 ORA, dopo queste cose, Davide percosse i Filistei, e li abbassò; e prese Metegamma di mano de’ Filistei.
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.	2 Percosse ancora i Moabiti, e fattili giacere in terra, li misurò con una funicella; e ne misurò due parti per farli morire, e una parte intiera per salvar loro la vita. Ed i Moabiti furono renduti soggetti a Davide, e tributari.
3 David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.	3 Davide, oltre a ciò, percosse Hadadezer, figliuolo di Rehob, re di Soba, andando per ridurre il paese sotto alla sua mano fino al fiume Eufrate.
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.	4 E Davide gli prese mille settecento uomini a cavallo, e ventimila uomini a piè. E Davide tagliò i garetti a’ cavalli di tutti i carri; ma ne riserbò i cavalli di cento carri.
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.	5 Ora i Siri di Damasco erano venuti per soccorrere Hadadezer, re di Soba. E Davide percosse di essi ventiduemila uomini.
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.	6 Poi pose guernigioni nella Siria di Damasco; e i Siri furono renduti soggetti a Davide, e tributari. E il Signore salvava Davide, dovunque egli andava.
7 And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.	7 E Davide prese gli scudi d’oro ch’erano de’ servitori di Hadadezer, e li portò in Gerusalemme.
8 And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.	8 Il re Davide prese ancora grandissima quantità di rame da Beta, e da Berotai, città di Hadadezer
9 And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.	9 Or Toi, re di Hamat, avendo udito che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadadezer,
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:	10 mandò al re Davide Ioram, suo figliuolo, per salutarlo, e per benedirlo, di ciò ch’egli avea guerreggiato contro a Hadadezer, e l’avea sconfitto; imperocchè Hadadezer avea guerra aperta con Toi. E Ioram portò seco vasellamenti d’argento, e vasellamenti di oro e vasellamenti di rame.
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:	11 E il re Davide consacrò eziandio quelli al Signore, insieme con l’argento, e con l’oro, che egli avea consacrato della preda di tutte le nazioni ch’egli avea soggiogate;
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.	12 dei Siri, e de’ Moabiti, e de’ figliuoli di Ammon, e de’ Filistei, e degli Amalechiti; e della preda di Hadadezer, figliuolo di Rehob, re di Soba.
13 David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:	13 Davide ancora acquistò fama di ciò che, ritornando dalla rotta de’ Siri, sconfisse diciottomila uomini nella Valle del sale.
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.	14 E pose guernigioni in Idumea; egli ne pose per tutta l’Idumea; e tutti gl’Idumei furono renduti soggetti a Davide; e il Signore salvava Davide, dovunque egli andava
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.	15 Così Davide regnò sopra tutto Israele, facendo ragione e giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
16 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:	16 E Ioab, figliuolo di Seruia, era sopra l’esercito; e Iosafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, era Cancelliere;
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:	17 e Sadoc, figliuolo di Ahitub, ed Ahimelec, figliuolo di Ebiatar, erano Sacerdoti; e Seraia era Segretario;
18 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.	18 e Benaia, figliuolo di Ioiada, era capo dei Cheretei, e de’ Peletei; ed i figliuoli di Davide erano principi
