¹And it cometh to pass afterwards that David smiteth the Philistines, and humbleth them, and David taketh the bridle of the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines.

²他又击败摩押人，使他们躺在地上，用绳子量他们，把量两绳的杀死，让量一绳的存活。这样，摩押人就臣服大卫，给他进贡。

²And he smiteth Moab, and measureth them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measureth two lines to put to death, and the fulness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are to David for servants, bearers of a present.

⁹哈马王陀以听见大卫打败了哈大底谢的全军，

⁹And Toi king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten all the force of Hadadezer,

¹⁰就差派他的儿子约兰去见大卫王，向他问安，祝贺他，因为大卫和哈大底谢争战，竟击败了他。原来陀以常常与哈大底谢争战。约兰手里还带着一些银器、金器和铜器。

¹⁰and Toi sendeth Joram his son unto king David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him, (because that he hath fought against Hadadezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars [with] Toi had Hadadezer been), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass,

¹¹大卫王也把这些器皿，连同他从他征服的各国得来的金银都一起分别为圣，献给耶和华。

¹¹also them did king David sanctify to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:

¹³And David maketh a name in his turning back from his smiting Aram in the valley of Salt — eighteen thousand;

¹⁴他又在以东设立防军；他在以东各地都设立防军，所有以东人就都臣服大卫。大卫无论到什么地方去，耶和华都使他得胜。
