¹And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah 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 measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

²Porazi i Moapce i izmjeri ih uzicom polegavši ih po zemlji: dvije uzice odmjeri onih koje treba pogubiti, a jednu punu uzicu onih koje treba ostaviti na životu. Tako Moapci postadoše Davidovi podanici koji su mu donosili danak.

³David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

³David je porazio i Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, sopskoga kralja, kad je izišao da proširi svoju vlast do Rijeke.

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

⁴David zarobi od njega tisuću i sedam stotina 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 succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

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

⁶Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And 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 Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

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

⁸And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

⁸Iz Tebaha i iz Berotaja, Hadadezerovih gradova, donese kralj David silni tuč.

⁹When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

⁹Kad je čuo hamatski kralj Tou da je David porazio svu Hadadezerovu vojsku,

¹⁰Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

¹⁰poslao je svoga sina Hadorama kralju Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu čestita što je vojevao protiv Hadadezera i porazio ga, jer je Hadadezer bio u ratu s Touom; Hadoram donese srebrnih, zlatnih i tučanih predmeta.

¹¹Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

¹¹I njih kralj David posveti Jahvi sa srebrom i zlatom što ga bijaše uzeo od svih naroda koje je pokorio:

¹²Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

¹²od Aramaca, Moabaca, Amonaca, Filistejaca i od Amalečana te od plijena Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, kralja Sobe.

¹³And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.

¹³David steče novu slavu kad je na povratku porazio Edomce, u Slanoj dolini, osamnaest tisuća njih.

¹⁴And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

¹⁴I postavi upravitelje u Edomu, i svi Edomci postadoše podanici Davidovi. I kuda je god David išao, Jahve mu davaše pobjedu.

¹⁵And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

¹⁵David kraljevaše nad svim Izraelom, čineći pravo i pravicu svemu svome narodu.

¹⁶And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

¹⁶Joab, sin Sarvijin, zapovijedaše vojskom, a Jošafat, sin Ahiludov, bijaše ljetopisac.

¹⁷And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

¹⁷Sadok, sin Ahitubov, i Ebjatar, sin Ahimelekov, bijahu svećenici; Seraja bijaše državni pisar;

¹⁸And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.

¹⁸Benaja, sin Jojadin, zapovijedaše Kerećanima i Pelećanima; Davidovi sinovi bijahu namjesnici.
