¹In zgodi se potem, da je porazil David Filistejce in jih pripravil ob moč ter vzel Gat in ž njim združena mesta iz rok Filistejcev.

¹And it cometh to pass after this, that David smiteth the Philistines, and humbleth them, and taketh Gath and its small towns out of the hand of the Philistines;

²Porazil je tudi Moaba; in Moabci so postali podložni Davidu in so prinašali darove.

²and he smiteth Moab, and the Moabites are servants to David, bringing a present.

³David je tudi porazil Hadarezerja, kralja v Zobi pri Hamatu, ko je šel, da si utrdi oblast pri reki Evfratu.

³And David smiteth Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, in his going to establish his power by the river Phrat,

⁴In David mu je vzel tisoč voz in sedem tisoč konjikov in dvajset tisoč pešcev; in David je ohromel vse vozne konje, ohranil jih je samo pri sto vozeh.

⁴and David captureth from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth utterly all the chariots, and leaveth of them a hundred chariots [only].

⁵Ko pa so prišli Sirci iz Damaska pomagat Hadarezerju, kralju v Zobi, je David pobil izmed Sircev dvaindvajset tisoč mož.

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

⁶Tedaj je David postavil posadko v Sirijo ob Damasku; in Sirci so postali podložni Davidu in so prinašali darove. Kajti GOSPOD je pomagal Davidu, kamorkoli je šel.

⁶and David putteth [garrisons] in Aram of Damascus, and the Aramaeans are to David for servants, bearing a present, and Jehovah giveth salvation to David whithersoever he hath gone.

⁷In David je vzel ščite iz zlata, ki so jih imeli hlapci Hadarezerjevi, in jih je prinesel v Jeruzalem.

⁷And David taketh the shields of gold that have been on the servants of Hadarezer, and bringeth them in to Jerusalem;

⁸Tudi iz Tibhata in iz Kuna, mest Hadarezerjevih, je David vzel veliko brona, in iz njega je napravil Salomon bronasto morje in stebra in bronaste posode.

⁸and from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, hath David taken very much brass; with it hath Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

⁹Ko pa začuje Tov, kralj v Hamatu, da je David porazil vso vojsko Hadarezerja, kralja v Zobi,

⁹And Tou king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten the whole force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,

¹⁰pošlje Hadorama, sina svojega, h kralju Davidu, da ga pozdravi in mu čestita na tem, da se je bojeval zoper Hadarezerja in ga porazil (kajti Hadarezer se je vedno bojeval zoper Tova); in prinese s seboj vsakovrstne posode zlate in srebrne in bronaste.

¹⁰and he sendeth Hadoram his son unto king David, to ask of him of peace, and to bless him (because that he hath fought against Hadarezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars with Tou had Hadarezer been,) and all kinds of vessels, of gold, and silver, and brass;

¹¹Te je tudi kralj David posvetil GOSPODU s srebrom in zlatom vred, kar ga je prinesel od vseh narodov: od Edomcev in Moabcev in od sinov Amonovih, od Filistejcev in od Amalekovcev.

¹¹also them hath king David sanctified to Jehovah with the silver and the gold that he hath taken from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

¹²In Abisaj, sin Zervijin, je porazil iz Edomcev v Solni dolini osemnajst tisoč.

¹²And Abishai son of Zeruiah hath smitten Edom in the valley of salt — eighteen thousand,

¹³In postavil je posadke po Edomskem, in vsi Edomci so postali podložni Davidu. Kajti GOSPOD je pomagal Davidu, kamorkoli je šel.

¹³and he putteth in Edom garrisons, and all the Edomites are servants to David; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone.

¹⁴In David je kraljeval vsemu Izraelu in izvrševal je sodbo in pravičnost vsemu ljudstvu svojemu.

¹⁴And David reigneth over all Israel, and he is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,

¹⁵Joab pa, sin Zervijin, je bil nad vojsko, in Josafat, sin Ahiludov, je bil deželni letopisec;

¹⁵and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,

¹⁶in Zadok, sin Ahitubov, in Abimelek, sin Abiatarjev, sta bila duhovnika, in Savsa je bil pisar,in Benaja, sin Jojadov, je bil nad Keretejci in Peletejci, in sinovi Davidovi so bili prvi pri kralju.

¹⁶and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Shavsha [is] scribe,

¹⁷in Benaja, sin Jojadov, je bil nad Keretejci in Peletejci, in sinovi Davidovi so bili prvi pri kralju.

¹⁷and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the elder sons of David [are] at the hand of the king.
