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

¹And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took the bridle of the mother city 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 smote Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to 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 servants to David, and brought tribute.

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁶Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

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

⁷And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought 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, king David took exceeding much brass.

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

⁹And when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host 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.

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:

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

¹¹These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and gold that he dedicated 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 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.

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

¹³And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men.

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 put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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