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 Or quando Tou, re di Hamath, ebbe udito che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadarezer, re di Tsoba,
And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
10 mandò al re Davide Hadoram, suo figliuolo, per salutarlo e per benedirlo perché avea mosso guerra a Hadarezer e l’avea sconfitto (Hadarezer era sempre in guerra con Tou); e Hadoram portò seco ogni sorta di vasi d’oro, d’argento, e di rame.
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 E il re Davide consacrò anche quelli all’Eterno, come avea già consacrato l’argento e l’oro che avea portato via a tutte le nazioni: agli Edomiti, ai Moabiti, agli Ammoniti, ai Filistei ed agli Amalekiti.
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.
