¹Zvino shure kwaizvozvo Dhavhidhi wakarwa navaFirisitia akavakunda; Dhavhidhi akatorera vaFirisitia chikuriri chomuzinda wavo.

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

²Akakunda Moabhuwo, akavayera nerwonzi, ambovavatisa pasi; akayera rwonzi ruviri vaifanira kuurawa, uye rwonzi rwakazara vaifanira kuregwa vari vapenyu. VaMoabhu vakaitwa varanda vaDhavhidhi vakamuvigira zvipo.

²And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

³Dhavhidhi akakundawo Hadhadhezeri mwanakomana waRehobhu, mambo weZhobha, pakuenda kwake kundotora ushe hwake paRwizi.

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

⁴Dhavhidhi akamutorera vatasvi vamabhiza vane chiuru chimwe namazana manomwe, 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 hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

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

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

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

⁶Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

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

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

⁸Mambo Dhavhidhi akatorawo ndarira zhinji kwazvo paBheta napaBherotai, aiva maguta aHadhadhezeri.

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

⁹Zvino Toi mambo weHamati wakati anzwa kuti Dhavhidhi wakange aparadza hondo yose yaHadhadhezeri,

⁹When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

¹⁰Toi akatuma mwanakomana wake Joramu kuna mambo Dhavhidhi kumukwazisa nokumukorokotedza, pamusoro pokurwa kwake naHadhadhezeri wairwa naToi. Joramu akauya nemidziyo yesirivha, nemidziyo yendarama, nemidziyo yendarira.

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:

¹¹Neyiyiwo mambo Dhavhidhi wakaitsaurira Jehovha, pamwechete nesirivha nendarama yaakamutsaurira, yakabva kundudzi dzose dzaakanga akunda;

¹¹Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

¹²kuvaSiria, navaMoabhu, navana vaAmoni, navaFirisitia, navaAmareki, nezvakanga zvatapwa kuna Hadhadhezeri mwanakomana waRehobhu, mambo weZobha.

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.

¹³Dhavhidhi akakurumbira kwazvo nguva yaakadzoka pakuuraya vaSiria paMupata woMunyu, vaiva varume vane zviuru zvine gumi nezvisere.

¹³And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.

¹⁴Akaisa mapoka avarwi paEdhomu; wakaisa mapoka avarwi paEdhomu yose, vaEdhomu vose vakava varanda vaDhavhidhi Jehovha akakundisa Dhavhidhi pose paakaenda.

¹⁴And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

¹⁵Dhavhidhi akabata vaIsiraeri vose; Dhavhidhi akatonga vanhu vake vose akavaitira zvakarurama.

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

¹⁶Joabhu mwanakomana waZeruya ndiye wairaira hondo, naJehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi waiva sahwira;

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

¹⁷Zadhoki mwanakomana waAhitubhi, naAhimereki mwanakomana waAbhiatari, vaiva vapristi, naSeraya waiva munyori.

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

¹⁸Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha ndiye wairaira vaKereti navaPereti, uye vanakomana vaDhavhidhi vaiva vapristi.

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