歷代志上 18

1 此後，大衛攻打非利士人，把他們治服，從他們手下奪取了迦特和屬迦特的村莊；

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

2 又攻打摩押，摩押人就歸服大衛，給他進貢。

And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought presents.

3 瑣巴王哈大利謝往幼發拉底河去，要堅定自己的國權，大衛就攻打他，直到哈馬，

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

4 奪了他的戰車一千，馬兵七千，步兵二萬，將拉戰車的馬砍斷蹄筋，但留下一百輛車的馬。

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

5 大馬士革的亞蘭人來幫助瑣巴王哈大利謝，大衛就殺了亞蘭人二萬二千。

And when the Arameans of Damascus came to succour Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Arameans two and twenty thousand men.

6 於是大衛在大馬士革的亞蘭地設立防營，亞蘭人就歸服他，給他進貢。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。

Then David put garrisons in Aram Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought presents. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

7 他奪了哈大利謝臣僕所拿的金盾牌帶到耶路撒冷。

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

8 大衛又從屬哈大利謝的提巴和均二城中奪取了許多的銅。後來所羅門用此製造銅海、銅柱，和一切的銅器。

And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 哈馬王陀烏聽見大衛殺敗瑣巴王哈大利謝的全軍，

And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah,

10 就打發他兒子哈多蘭去見大衛王，問他的安，為他祝福，因為他殺敗了哈大利謝（原來陀烏與哈大利謝常常爭戰）。哈多蘭帶了金銀銅的各樣器皿來。

he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him — because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer had wars with Tou — and he had with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11 大衛王將這些器皿，並從各國奪來的金銀，就是從以東、摩押、亞捫、非利士、亞瑪力人所奪來的，都分別為聖獻給耶和華。

These also did king David dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩在鹽谷擊殺了以東一萬八千人。

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand.

13 大衛在以東地設立防營，以東人就都歸服他。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。

And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

14 大衛作以色列眾人的王，又向眾民秉公行義。

And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people.

15 洗魯雅的兒子約押作元帥；亞希律的兒子約沙法作史官；

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

16 亞希突的兒子撒督和亞比亞他的兒子亞希米勒作祭司長；沙威沙作書記；

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

17 耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅統轄基利提人和比利提人。大衛的眾子都在王的左右作領袖。

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