1 Chronicles 18

1 Some time later, David’s [army] attacked the army of Philistia and defeated them. They captured Gath [city] and the surrounding villages.

Después de estas cosas aconteció, que David hirió a los Filisteos, y los humilló; y tomó a Get, y a sus villas de mano de los Filisteos.

2 His [army] also defeated [the army of] the Moab [people-group]. The people were forced to accept David as their ruler, and also to pay money [each year to David’s government, in order that David’s army would protect them].

También hirió a Moab; y los Moabitas fueron siervos de David, trayéndole presente.

3 David’s [army] also fought against [the army of] Hadadezer, the king of [the] Zobah [region in Syria] near Hamath [city], when Hadadezer was trying to establish control over the area near the Euphrates River.

Asimismo hirió David a Adarezer rey de Soba en Hemat, yendo él a afirmar su término al río de Éufrates.

4 David’s [army] captured 1,000 of Hadadezer’s chariots, 7,000 chariot-drivers, and 20,000 soldiers. They hamstrung/crippled most of their horses; there were only 100 horses that they did not cripple.

Y tomóles David mil carros, y siete mil de a caballo, y veinte mil hombres de a pie: y desjarretó David todos los carros; mas dejó cien carros.

5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.

Y viniendo Siria, la de Damasco, en ayuda de Adarezer rey de Soba, David hirió de los Siros veinte y dos mil varones.

6 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers in Damascus, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to pay to David’s government [each year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles everywhere they went.

Y puso David guarnición en Siria, la de Damasco, y los Siros fueron hechos siervos de David, trayéndole presente: porque Jehová salvaba a David donde quiera que iba.

7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.

Tomó también David los escudos de oro, que traían los siervos de Adarezer, y metiólos en Jerusalem.

8 They also brought from Tebah (OR, Tibhath) and Cun, two towns that belonged to Hadadezer, a lot of bronze, which [David’s son] Solomon [later] used to make the huge bronze basin and the pillars and other bronze items [for the temple].

Asimismo de Tebat, y de Cun, ciudades de Adarezer, tomó David muy mucho metal, de que Salomón hizo el mar de metal, las columnas, y vasos de metal.

9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,

Y oyendo Tou rey de Hemat, que David había deshecho a todo el ejército de Adarezer rey de Soba,

10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to greet him and (congratulate him/tell him that he was happy) about his defeating Hadadezer’s army, which had been fighting [the army of] Tou. Hadoram brought to David many items/gifts made of gold, silver, and bronze.

Envió a Adoram su hijo al rey David a saludarle, y a bendecirle por haber peleado con Adarezer, y haberle vencido: porque Tou tenía guerra con Adarezer. Y envióle todos los vasos de oro, de plata, y de metal;

11 King David dedicated those things to Yahweh, like he had done with the silver and gold that his soldiers had taken from [the] Edom and Moab [people-groups], and from the Ammon people-group and from the people of Philistia, and from [the descendants of] Amalek.

Los cuales el rey David dedicó a Jehová, con la plata y oro que había tomado de todas las naciones, de Edom, de Moab, de los hijos de Ammón, de los Filisteos, y de Amalec.

12 [One of David’s army commanders, ] Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, went with his army and killed 18,000 soldiers from Edom in the Salt Valley.

Ítem, Abisaí, hijo de Sarvia, hirió a Edom en el valle de la sal diez y ocho mil hombres.

13 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers there in Edom, and the people of Edom were forced to accept David as their king and to pay money to David’s government [every year]. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.

Y puso guarnición en Edom, y todos los Idumeos fueron siervos de David: porque Jehová guardaba a David donde quiera que iba.

14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.

Y reinó David sobre todo Israel, y hacía juicio y justicia a todo su pueblo.

15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.

Y Joab, hijo de Sarvia, era general del ejército, y Josafat, hijo de Ahilud, canciller.

16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.

Y Sadoc, hijo de Aquitob, y Abimelec, hijo de Abiatar, eran sacerdotes; y Susa el escriba.

17 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ruled over the Kereth and Peleth groups [who were David’s bodyguards]. And David’s sons were his most important officials.

Ítem, Banaías, hijo de Joiada, era sobre los Cereteos y Feleteos: y los hijos de David eran los príncipes a la mano del rey.
