1 Derefter slog David de Philisteer, och undertryckte dem, och tog Gath och dess döttrar utu de Philisteers hand.

After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. He took Gath and its villages out of the Philistines' control.

2 Slog han ock de Moabiter, så att de Moabiter vordo David underdånige, och förde honom skänker.

Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David and paid him tribute.

3 Han slog ock HadarEser, Konungen i Zoba, uti Hamath, då han dit drog, till att uppresa sitt tecken vid den älfvena Phrath.

David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah at Hamath, as Hadadezer was traveling to establish his rule by the Euphrates River.

4 Och David vann af honom tusende vagnar, sjutusend resenärar, och tjugutusend män till fots och David hasade alla vagnhästarna, och behöll hundrade vagnar qvara.

David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.

5 Och de Syrer af Damasco kommo HadarEser, Konungenom i Zoba, till hjelp; men David slog de samma Syrer, tu och tjugu tusend män;

When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.

6 Och lade folk till Damascon i Syrien, så att de Syrer vordo David underdånige, och förde honom skänker; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han for.

Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

7 Och David tog de gyldene sköldar, som HadarEsers tjenare hade, och förde dem till Jerusalem.

David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Tog också David utu HadarEsers städer, Tibhath och Chun, ganska mycken koppar, af hvilkom Salomo kopparhafvet, och stoderna och kopparkärilen gjorde.

From Tebah and Kun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze. It was with this bronze that Solomon later made the bronze basin called “The Sea,” the pillars, and the bronze equipment.

9 Och då Thou, Konungen i Hamath, hörde, att David hade slagit alla HadarEsers magt, Konungens i Zoba;

When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

10 Sände han sin son Hadoram till Konung David, och lät helsa och välsigna honom, att han med HadarEser stridt, och honom slagit hade; ty Thou hade örlig med HadarEser. Och all gyldene, silfver, och kopparkärile,

and so Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him. He did this because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Tou had often been at war with Hadadezer. Tou also sent David many different sorts of articles made of gold and silver and bronze.

11 Dem helgade Konung David Herranom, med det silfver och guld, som han tagit hade ifrå Hedningarna, nämliga ifrå de Edomeer, Moabiter, Ammoniter, Philisteer och Amalekiter.

King David set these objects apart to Yahweh, together with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: Edom, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.

12 Och Abisai, ZeruJa son, slog de Edomeer i saltdalenom, adertontusend;

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

13 Och lade folk i Edomeen; så att alle Edomeer voro David underdånige; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han drog.

He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

14 Alltså regerade David öfver hela Israel, och höll rätt och rättvisa allo sino folke.

David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.

15 Joab, ZeruJa son, var öfver hären; Jojaphat, Ahiluds son, var canceller.

Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.

16 Zadok, Ahitobs son, och AbiMelech, AbJathars son, voro Prester; Sausa var skrifvare.
