After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
2 Han slog ock de Moabiter så till jordena, att han två delar drap, och en del lät lefvandes blifva. Alltså vordo de Moabiter David underdånige, så att de förde skänker till honom.
Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him tribute.

David then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by the Euphrates River.

David captured from him 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.

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 Syria. Alltså vardt Syria David underdånig, så att de förde skänker till honom; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han drog.
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 HadadEsers tjenare tillhört hade, och förde dem till Jerusalem.
David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Men ifrå Bethah, och Berothai, HadadEsers städer, tog Konung David ganska mycken koppar.
From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
9 Då Thoi, Konungen i Hemath, hörde att David hade slagit alla HadadEsers magt,
When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
10 Sände han Joram sin son till David, till att helsa honom vänliga, och välsigna honom, att han hade stridt med HadadEser, och slagit honom; ty Thoi hade örlig med HadadEser, och han hade med sig silfver, och gyldene, och koppartyg;
Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, and bronze.
11 Hvilka Konung David ock helgade Herranom, samt med det silfver och guld, som han helgade af allom Hedningom, dem han under sig tvingade,
King David set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that he conquered—

from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
13 Och gjorde David sig ett namn, då han igenkom och slog de Syrer i saltdalenom, adertontusend.
David's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their eighteen thousand men.
14 Och han lade folk i hela Edomea; och hela Edom var David undergifven; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han drog.
He placed garrisons throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
