Primo libro delle Cronache 18

DIODATI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ORA, dopo queste cose, Davide percosse i Filistei, e li abbassò; e prese a’ Filistei Gat, e le terre del suo territorio.	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 Egli percosse ancora i Moabiti; onde i Moabiti furono soggetti di Davide, pagando tributo.	2 And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David's servants, and brought him gifts.
3 Davide, oltre a ciò, percosse Hadarezer, re di Soba, verso Hamat, mentre egli andava per istabilire il suo dominio sul 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 E Davide gli prese mille carri, e settemila cavalieri, e ventimila pedoni, e tagliò i garetti a’ cavalli di tutti i carri, salvo di cento ch’egli riserbò.	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 i Siri di Damasco erano venuti al soccorso di Hadarezer, re di Soba; e Davide percosse di que’ Siri ventiduemila 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 Davide pose guernigioni nella Siria Damascena; ed i Siri divennero soggetti di Davide, pagando tributo. E il Signore salvava Davide dovunque egli andava.	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 E Davide prese gli scudi d’oro, che i servitori di Hadarezer portavano; 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 Davide prese ancora una grandissima quantità di rame da Tibhat, e da Cun, città di Hadarezer; onde Salomone fece il mar di rame, e le colonne, e i vasellamenti 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 Tou, re di Hamat, avendo inteso che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadarezer, 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 figliuolo Hadoram al re Davide, per salutarlo, e per benedirlo di ciò che egli avea combattuto contro ad Hadarezer, e l’avea sconfitto; perciocchè Hadarezer avea fatta guerra aperta a Tou. Gli mandò ancora ogni sorte di vasellamenti d’oro, e d’argento, e di rame.	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 ancora al Signore que’ vasellamenti, insieme con l’argento, e con l’oro, ch’egli avea portato da tutte le genti, da Edom, e da’ Moabiti, e dai figliuoli di Ammon, e da’ Filistei, e da 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 Oltre a ciò, Abisai, figliuolo di Seruia, sconfisse gl’Idumei nella valle del sale, in numero di diciottomila.	12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
13 E mise guernigioni in Idumea; e tutti gl’Idumei divennero soggetti di Davide. E il Signore salvava Davide dovunque egli andava.	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 Così Davide regnò sopra tutto Israele, facendo 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 E Ioab, figliuolo di Seruia, era Capo dell’esercito; e Giosafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, era Cancelliere;	15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.
16 e Sadoc, figliuolo di Ahitub, ed Abimelec, figliuolo di Ebiatar, erano Sacerdoti; e Sausa era Segretario;	16 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
17 e Benaia, figliuolo di Gioiada, era sopra i Cheretei, ed i Peletei; ed i figliuoli di Davide erano i primi appresso 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.
