I Paralipomenon 18

1 Factum est autem post hæc, ut percuteret David Philisthiim, et humiliaret eos, et tolleret Geth, et filias eius de manu Philisthiim,

Now 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 percuteretque Moab, et fierent Moabitæ servi David, offerentes ei munera.

And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought tribute.

3 Eo tempore percussit David etiam Adarezer regem Soba regionis Hemath, quando perrexit ut dilataret imperium suum usque ad flumen Euphraten.

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

4 Cepit ergo David mille quadrigas eius, et septem millia equitum, ac viginti millia virorum peditum, subnervavitque omnes equos curruum, exceptis centum quadrigis, quas reservavit sibi.

And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

5 Supervenit autem et Syrus Damascenus, ut auxilium præberet Adarezer regi Soba: sed et huius percussit David vigintiduo millia virorum.

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6 Et posuit milites in Damasco, ut Syria quoque serviret sibi, et offerret munera. Adiuvitque eum Dominus in cunctis, ad quæ perrexerat.

Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

7 Tulit quoque David pharetras aureas, quas habuerant servi Adarezer, et attulit eas in Ierusalem.

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

8 Necnon de Thebath, et Chun urbibus Adarezer æris plurimum, de quo fecit Salomon mare æneum, et columnas, et vasa ænea.

Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought very much brass, with which Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 Quod cum audisset Thou rex Hemath, percussisse videlicet David omnem exercitum Adarezer regis Soba,

Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

10 misit Adoram filium suum ad regem David, ut postularet ab eo pacem, et congratularetur ei quod percussisset, et expugnasset Adarezer: adversarius quippe erat Thou Adarezer.

He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had warred with Tou; ) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11 Sed et omnia vasa aurea, et argentea, et ænea consecravit David rex Domino, cum argento et auro, quod tulerat ex universis gentibus, tam de Idumæa, et Moab, et filiis Ammon, quam de Philisthiim et Amalec.

Them also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 Abisai vero filius Sarviæ percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum, decem et octo millia:

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

13 et constituit in Edom præsidium, ut serviret Idumæa David: salvavitque Dominus David in cunctis, ad quæ perrexerat.

And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

14 Regnavit ergo David super universum Israel, et faciebat iudicium atque iustitiam cuncto populo suo.

So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15 Porro Ioab filius Sarviæ erat super exercitum, et Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis.

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

16 Sadoc autem filius Achitob, et Ahimelech, filius Abiathar, sacerdotes: et Susa, scriba.

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

17 Banaias quoque filius Ioiadæ super legiones Cerethi, et Phelethi: porro filii David, primi ad manum regis.

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