2 Samuel 8

1Depois disto Davide derrotou os Filisteus e humilhou-os, tirando-lhes o mando da sua capital.

2Derrotou também os Moabitas, e (os prisioneiros) mediu-os a cordel, fazendo-os deitar por terra: duas medidas de cordel para a morte e uma medida avantajada para a vida. E ficou Moab sujeito a Davide, pagando-Ihe tributo.

3Davide derrotou também Adadezer, filho de Roob, rei de Soba, quando marchou para estender os seus domínios até ao rio Eufrates.

4Tendo-lhe Davide tomado mil e setecentos cavaleiros e vinte mil peões, cortou os jarretes a todos os cavalos dos carros; deles reservou sòmente (os precisos) para cem carros.

5Vieram também os Sírios de Damasco, para darem socorro a Adadezer, rei de Soba, e Davide matou vinte e dois mil Sírios.

6Davide pôs guarnição na Síria de Damasco, e a Síria foi submetida a Davide, ficando-lhe tributária. O Senhor guardou Davide em todas as expedições que fez.

7Davide tomou as armas de ouro, que tinham os servos de Adadezer, e levou-as para Jerusalém.

8De Bete e de Berot, cidades de Adadezer, Davide tomou uma grande quantidade de cobre.

9Quando Tou, rei de Emat, ouviu dizer que Davide tinha quebrado todas as forças a Adadezer,

10enviou Jorão, seu filho, ao rei Davide para o saudar, dando-lhe os parabéns, e para lhe dar graças por ter vencido e destroçado Adadezer, porque Tou era inimigo de Adadezer. (Jorão) levava na sua mão vasos de ouro, de prata e de cobre,

11os quais o rei Davide consagrou também ao Senhor, com a prata e ouro, que lhe tinha consagrado do despojo de todas as nações que sujeitara,

12da Síria e de Moab, dos filhos de Amon, dos Filisteus e de Amalec, com os despojos de Adadezer, filho de Roob, rei de Soba.

13Adquiriu Davide grande fama, quando, na volta da conquista da Síria, matou dezoito mil homens no vale das Salinas.

14Pôs na Idumeia guarnições, e toda a Idumeia ficou sujeita a Davide. O Senhor guardou Davide em todas as expedições que fez.

15Reinou Davide sobre todo o Israel, e julgava também e administrava justiça a todo o seu povo.

16Josafat, filho de Ailude, era seu cronista;

17Sadoc, Joab, filho de Sarvia, era o general dos seus exércitos; filho de Aquitob, e Aquimeleque, filho de Abiatar, eram pontífices; Saraias era secretário;

18Banaias, filho de Jojada, mandava nos Cereteus e Feleteus; e os filhos de Davide eram seus conselheiros íntimos.

1Factum est autem post hæc, percussit David Philisthiim, et humiliavit eos, et tulit David frenum tributi de manu Philisthiim.

2Et percussit Moab, et mensus est eos funiculo, coæquans terræ: mensus est autem duos funiculos, unum ad occidendum, et unum ad vivificandum: factusque est Moab David serviens sub tributo.

3Et percussit David Adarezer filium Rohob regem Soba, quando profectus est ut dominaretur super flumen Euphraten.

4Et captis David ex parte ejus mille septingentis equitibus, et viginti millibus peditum, subnervavit omnes jugales curruum: dereliquit autem ex eis centum currus.

5Venit quoque Syria Damasci, ut præsidium ferret Adarezer regi Soba: et percussit David de Syria viginti duo millia virorum.

6Et posuit David præsidium in Syria Damasci: factaque est Syria David serviens sub tributo: servavitque Dominus David in omnibus ad quæcumque profectus est.

7Et tulit David arma aurea quæ habebant servi Adarezer, et detulit ea in Jerusalem.

8Et de Bete et de Beroth, civitatibus Adarezer, tulit rex David æs multum nimis.

9Audivit autem Thou rex Emath quod percussisset David omne robur Adarezer,

10et misit Thou Joram filium suum ad regem David, ut salutaret eum congratulans, et gratias ageret: eo quod expugnasset Adarezer, et percussisset eum. Hostis quippe erat Thou Adarezer, et in manu ejus erant vasa aurea, et vasa argentea, et vasa ærea:

11quæ et ipsa sanctificavit rex David Domino cum argento et auro quæ sanctificaverat de universis gentibus quas subegerat,

12de Syria, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, et Philisthiim, et Amalec, et de manubiis Adarezer filii Rohob regis Soba.

13Fecit quoque sibi David nomen cum reverteretur capta Syria in valle Salinarum, cæsis decem et octo millibus:

14et posuit in Idumæa custodes, statuitque præsidium: et facta est universa Idumæa serviens David, et servavit Dominus David in omnibus ad quæcumque profectus est.

15Et regnavit David super omnem Israël: faciebat quoque David judicium et justitiam omni populo suo.

16Joab autem filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum: porro Josaphat filius Ahilud erat a commentariis:

17et Sadoc filius Achitob, et Achimelech filius Abiathar, erant sacerdotes: et Saraias, scriba:

18Banaias autem filius Jojadæ super Cerethi et Phelethi: filii autem David sacerdotes erant.

1And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.

2And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.

3David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.

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

5And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.

7And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.

9And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.

10And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:

11And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:

12Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.

13David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:

14And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.

15And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.

16And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:

17And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:

18And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
