¹Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

¹Poslije toga David porazi Filistejce i pokori ih te ote Gat s njegovim selima iz filistejskih ruku.

²And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

²Porazio je i Moapce i oni postadoše Davidovi podanici koji su mu donosili danak.

³And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

³David je porazio i Hadadezera, sopskoga kralja u Hamatu, kad je izišao da utvrdi svoju vlast do rijeke Eufrata.

⁴And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

⁴David zarobi od njega tisuću bojnih kola, sedam tisuća konjanika i dvadeset tisuća pješaka; ispresijecao je petne žile svim konjima od bojnih kola, ostavio ih je samo stotinu.

⁵And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

⁵Damaščanski su Aramejci bili došli u pomoć Hadadezeru, sopskome kralju, ali je David pobio među Aramejcima dvadeset i dvije tisuće ljudi.

⁶Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

⁶Postavio je namjesnike u Damaščanskom Aramu. Tako Aramejci postadoše Davidovi podanici i moradoše mu plaćati danak. Jahve je davao pobjedu Davidu kuda je god išao.

⁷And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

⁷David zaplijeni zlatne štitove što ih imahu Hadadezerove sluge i donese ih u Jeruzalem.

⁸Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

⁸I iz Hadadezerovih gradova Tibhata i Kuna odnio je silni tuč od kojega je Salomon načinio mjedeno more, stupove i tučano posuđe.

⁹Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

⁹Kad je čuo hamatski kralj Tou da je David porazio svu vojsku Hadadezera, sopskoga kralja,

¹⁰He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

¹⁰posla svoga sina Hadorama kralju Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu čestita što je vojevao protiv Hadadezera i porazio ga, jer je Tou bio u ratu s Hadadezerom; i da mu odnese svakojakih zlatnih, srebrnih i tučanih predmeta.

¹¹Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

¹¹I njih je kralj David posvetio Jahvi sa srebrom i zlatom što ga bijaše uzeo od svih naroda, od Edomaca, Moabaca, Amonaca, Filistejaca i Amalečana.

¹²Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

¹²Sarvijin sin Abišaj pobio je osamnaest tisuća Edomaca u Slanoj dolini.

¹³And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

¹³David je postavio namjesnike po Edomu. Tako su svi Edomci postali Davidove sluge. I kuda je god David išao, Jahve mu davaše pobjedu.

¹⁴So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

¹⁴David kraljevaše nad svim Izraelom čineći pravo i pravicu svemu svome narodu.

¹⁵And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

¹⁵Sarvijin je sin Joab bio zapovjednik vojske; Ahiludov sin Jošafat bijaše tajni savjetnik.

¹⁶And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

¹⁶Ahitubov sin Sadok i Ahimelekov sin Ebjatar bili su svećenici, Šavša pisar.

¹⁷And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.

¹⁷Jojadin sin Benaja bio je nad Kerećanima i Pelećanima, a Davidovi su sinovi bili prvi do kralja.
