¹And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them; and David took the power of the capital out of the hand of the Philistines.

¹Potom sa stalo, že Dávid porazil Filištínov a zohnul ich. A Dávid vzal mesto Meteg-amma z ruky Filištínov.

²And he smote the Moabites, and measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.

²A porazil aj Moába a odmeral ich merným lanom poveliac im ľahnúť na zem a tak odmeral dve merné laná na zabitie a jedno celé lano na to, aby boli ponechaní žiť... A tak sa stali Moábänia Dávidovi služobníkmi, donášajúcimi dary.

³And David smote Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion by the river Euphrates.

³A Dávid porazil aj Hadad-ézera, syna Rechobovho, kráľa Cóby, keď išiel, aby znova dobyl panstvo na poriečí Eufrata.

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

⁴Dávid zajal od neho tisíc a sedemsto jazdcov a dvadsať tisíc mužov peších. A Dávid popodrezoval koňom od všetkých vozov žily a ponechal z toho koní pre sto vozov.

⁵And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.

⁵A keď prišiel Aram, Sýr z Damašku, pomôcť Hadadézerovi, kráľovi Cóby, porazil Dávid z Arama dvadsaťdva tisíc mužov.

⁶And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.

⁶A Dávid osadil posádky v Damašskom Aramejsku. A tak boli Aramejci Dávidovi služobníkmi, donášajúcimi dary. A Hospodin chránil Dávida všade, kamkoľvek išiel.

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

⁷Potom pobral Dávid zlaté štíty, ktoré mali služobníci Hadadézerovi, a dopravil ich do Jeruzalema.

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

⁸A z Bétachu a Berótaja, z miest Hadadézerových, pobral kráľ Dávid veľmi mnoho medi.

⁹And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer;

⁹A keď počul Toj, kráľ Chamatu, že Dávid porazil všetko vojsko Hadadézerovo,

¹⁰and Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer was continually at war with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.

¹⁰poslal Toj Jorama, svojho syna, ku kráľovi Dávidovi, aby ho pozdravil a aby mu blahoželal, že šťastne bojoval proti Hadadézerovi a porazil ho, lebo Hadadézer viedol vojny s Tojom. A Joram doniesol so sebou strieborné nádoby a zlaté nádoby a medené nádoby.

¹¹Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated of all the nations that he had subdued:

¹¹Aj tie zasvätil kráľ Dávid Hospodinovi so striebrom a zlatom, ktoré zasvätil, nadobudnuté od všetkých národov, ktoré podmanil,

¹²of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of the Amalekites, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

¹²od Arama, od Moába, od synov Ammonových, od Filištínov, od Amalecha a z koristi Hadadézera, syna Rechobovho, kráľa Cóby.

¹³And David made him a name when he returned, after he had smitten the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand [men].

¹³Takým činom si učinil Dávid slávne meno, keď sa navrátil od porazenia Arama v Soľnej doline, kde porazil osemnásť tisíc.

¹⁴And he put garrisons in Edom: throughout Edom did he put garrisons; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.

¹⁴A osadil v Edomei posádky, po celej Edomei osadil posádky. A všetci Edomejci stali sa služobníkmi Dávidovými. A tak tedy chránil Hospodin Dávida všade, kamkoľvek išiel.

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

¹⁵A Dávid kraľoval nad celým Izraelom a činil súd a spravedlivosť všetkému svojmu ľudu.

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

¹⁶A Joáb, syn Ceruje, bol postavený nad vojskom, a Jozafat, syn Achilúdov, bol kancelárom.

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

¹⁷Cádok, syn Achitúbov, a Achimelech, syn Ebiatárov, boli kňazmi, a Seraja bol pisárom.

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

¹⁸A Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, a Keréťania a Peléťania, a synovia Dávidovi boli prostredkujúcimi úradníkmi dvornými.
