¹Zvino shure kwaizvozvo Dhavhidhi akarwa navaFirisitia akavakunda; akatorera vaFirisitia Gati nemisha yaro.

¹Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

²Akakunda Moabhiwo, vaMoabhi vakaitwa varanda vaDhavhidhi, vakamuvigira zvipo.

²And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

³Dhavhidhi akakundawo Hadharezeri mambo weZobha, kusvikira paHamati, pakuenda kwake kundosimbisa vumambo bwake parwizi Yufuratesi.

³And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

⁴Dhavhidhi akamutorera ngoro dzine chiuru chimwe navatasvi vamabhiza vane zviuru zvinomwe, navaifamba namakumbo vane zviuru zvina makumi maviri; Dhavhidhi akagura marunda amakumbo amabhiza ose aikweva ngoro, asi wakachengetera ngoro dzine zana mamwe awo.

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

⁵Zvino vaSiria veDhamasiko vakati vachiuya kuzobatsira Hadharezeri mambo weZobha, Dhavhidhi akauraya vaSiria vane zviuru zvina makumi maviri nezviviri.

⁵And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

⁶Dhavhidhi akaisa mapoka avarwi muSiria paDhamasiko; vaSiria vakava varanda vaDhavhidhi vakamuchengeta. Jehovha akakundisa Dhavhidhi pose paakaenda.

⁶Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

⁷Dhavhidhi akatora nhovo dzendarama dzakanga dzakashongwa navaranda vaHadharezeri, akadziisa Jerusaremu.

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

⁸NapaTibhati napaKuni, maguta eHadharezeri, Dhavhidhi akatora ndarira zhinji kwazvo, Soromoni yaakazoita nayo dziva rendarira, nembiru, nemidziyo yendarira.

⁸Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

⁹Zvino Tou mambo weHamati akati achinzwa kuti Dhavhidhi akaparadza hondo yose yaHadharezeri mambo weZobha,

⁹Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

¹⁰akatuma Hadhorami mwanakomana wake kuna mambo Dhavhidhi, kundomukwazisa, nokumukorokotedza pamusoro pokurwa kwake kwaHadharezeri nokumukunda; nekuti Hadharezeri wairwa naTou; akanga ane midziyo yamarudzi ose, yendarama, neyesirivha, nendarira.

¹⁰He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

¹¹Neyiyiwo mambo Dhavhidhi akaitsaurira Jehovha, pamwechete nesirivha nendarama yaakanga atora kundudzi dzose; kuna vaEdhomu, navaMoabhi, navana vaAmoni, navaFirisitia, navaAmareki.

¹¹Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

¹²Uye Abhishai mwanakomana waZeruya, akauraya vaEdhomu paMupata woMunyu vaiva vane zviuru zvine gumi nezvisere.

¹²Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

¹³Akaisa mapoka avarwi paEdhomu; vaEdhomu vose vakava varanda vaDhavhidhi. Jehovha akakundisa Dhavhidhi pose paakaenda.

¹³And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

¹⁴Dhavhidhi akabata vaIsiraeri vose; akatongera vanhu vake vose akavaitira zvakarurama.

¹⁴So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

¹⁵Joabhu mwanakomana waZeruya ndiye wairaira hondo, naJehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi waiva gurukota,

¹⁵And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

¹⁶Zadhoki mwanakomana waAhitubhi, naAhimereki mwanakomana waAbhiyatari, vaiva vapristi, naShavhisha waiva munyori;

¹⁶And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

¹⁷uye Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha ndiye wairaira vaKereti navaPereti; uye vanakomana vaDhavhidhi vaiva vakuru kutevera mambo.

¹⁷And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
