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

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.

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.

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.

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

³And David smiteth Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates;]

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.

⁴and David captureth from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth utterly the whole of the charioteers, only he leaveth of them a hundred charioteers.

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

⁵And Aram of Damascus cometh to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smiteth of Aram twenty and two thousand men;

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

⁶and David putteth garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is to David for a servant, bearing a present; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone;

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

⁷and David taketh the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and bringeth them to Jerusalem;

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

⁸and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, hath king David taken very much brass.

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

¹²of Aram, and of Moab, and of the Bene-Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.

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

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

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.

¹⁴and he putteth in Edom garrisons — in all Edom he hath put garrisons, and all Edom are servants to David; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone.

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

¹⁵And David reigneth over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,

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

¹⁶and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,

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

¹⁷and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,

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

¹⁸and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
