²He struck 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. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

²Porazil je tudi Moabce in jih premeril z vrvjo, ko jih je dal položiti na tla, in po dve vrvi jih je odmeril v smrt, po eno celo vrv pa, da žive. Tako so Moabci postali podložni Davidu in so mu prinašali darove.

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

⁹When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,

⁹In ko začuje Toj, kralj v Hamatu, da je David porazil vso vojsko Hadadezerjevo,

¹⁰then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

¹⁰pošlje sina svojega Jorama h kralju Davidu, da ga pozdravi ter mu čestita, da se je bojeval zoper Hadadezerja in ga je porazil; zakaj Toj se je vedno vojskoval s Hadadezerjem. In Joram je prinesel s seboj srebrne, zlate in bronaste posode;

¹¹King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;

¹¹te je kralj David tudi posvetil GOSPODU s srebrom in zlatom vred, ki ga je GOSPODU posvetil od vseh narodov, kar si jih je bil podvrgel:

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.

¹²od Sircev, od Moabcev, od sinov Amonovih, od Filistejcev, od Amalekovcev in iz plena Hadadezerja sina Rehobovega, kralja v Zobi.

¹³David earned a reputation when he returned from smiting the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men.

¹³In David si je pridobil ime, ko se je vrnil, porazivši Sirce v Solni dolini, osemnajst tisoč mož.

¹⁴He put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

¹⁴In postavil je posadke v Edomu, po vsem Edomu je postavil posadke, in vsi Edomci so postali Davidovi podložniki. Kajti GOSPOD je pomagal Davidu, kamorkoli je šel.
