1 و َبَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ مِنَ الزَّمَنِ هاجَمَ داوُدُ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ وَأخضَعَهُمْ، وَأخَذَ جَتَّ وَالقُرَى التّابِعَةَ لَها مِنْ سَيطَرَتِهِمْ.

After this, David smote and subdued the Philistines, and took Gath and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 ك َما هَزَمَ داوُدُ مُوآبَ، فَصارَ أهلُ مُوآبَ يَدْفَعُونَ لَهُ الجِزْيَةَ.

He smote Moab, and the Moabites became David’s servants and brought tribute.

3 و َهَزَمَ داوُدُ أيضاً هَدَدَ عَزَرَ مَلِكَ صُوبَةَ فِي كُلِّ أرْضِهِ وَحَتَّى إقلِيمِ حَماةَ. وَذَلِكَ عِندَما ذَهَبَ داوُدُ لَيُقِيمَ نَصْباً مَلَكِّياً عِنْدَ نَهْرِ الفُراتِ.

Also David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah toward Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

4 و َاسْتَولَى داوُدُ مِنْهُ عَلَى ألْفِ مَرْكَبَةٍ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلافٍ مِنَ الخَيّالَةِ، وَعِشْرِينَ ألفاً مِنَ المُشاةِ. وَحَطَّمَ داوُدُ كُلَّ مَرْكَباتِ الخُيُولِ ما عَدا مِئَةً مِنْها.

David took from him 1, 000 chariots, 7, 000 horsemen, and 20, 000 foot soldiers. David also hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough for 100 chariots.

5 و َجاءَ أرامِيُّو دِمَشْقَ لِنَجْدَةِ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ، مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ، لَكِنْ قَتَلَ داوُدُ اثْنَينِ وَعِشْرِينَ ألفَ جُندِيٍّ مِنْهُمْ.

When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians 22, 000 men.

6 ث ُمَّ وَضَعَ داوُدُ حامِياتٍ عَسْكَرِيَّةً فِي أرامَ دِمَشْقَ. وَخَضَعَ الأراميُّونَ لِداوُدَ وَبَدأُوا يَدفَعُونَ لَهُ الجِزيَةَ. وَكانَ اللهُ يَنصُرُ داوُدَ حَيثُما ذَهَبَ.

Then David put garrisons in Syria, Damascus; the Syrians became David’s servants and brought tribute. Thus the Lord preserved and gave victory to David wherever he went.

7 و َأخَذَ داوُدُ التُّرُوسَ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ الَّتِي كانَ عَبِيدُ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ يَسْتَخدِمُونَها، وَأحضَرَها إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

David took the shields of gold that were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 و َأخَذَ داوُدُ مِنْ طَبْحَةَ وَخُونَ، مَدَينَتَيْ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ، كَمِيَّةً كَبِيرَةً مِنَ البُرونْزِ. وَبِهَذا البُرونْزِ بَنَى سُلَيْمانُ الحَوْضَ البُرونْزِيَّ وَالأعمِدَةَ وَالآنِيَةَ البُرونْزِيَّةَ.

Likewise from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David brought very much bronze, with which Solomon later made the bronze laver, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

9 و َسَمِعَ تُوعُو مَلِكُ حَماةَ بِأنَّ داوُدَ هَزَمَ كُلَّ جَيشِ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ، مَلِكَ صُوبَةَ.

When Tou king of Hamath heard how David had defeated all the hosts of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

10 ف َأرسَلَ ابْنَهُ هَدُورامَ إلَى المَلِكِ داوُدَ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ عَلَيهِ وَيُهَنِّئَهُ، لِأنَّهُ حارَبَ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ وَهَزَمَهُ. فَقَدْ سَبَقَ أنْ دارَتْ حُرُوبٌ فِي الماضِي بَينَ هَدَدَ عَزَرَ وَتُوعُو. وَأرسَلَ مَعَ هَدُورامَ كُلَّ أنواعِ الأشْياءِ المَصْنُوعَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ وَالبُرونْزِ المُختَلِفَةِ.

He sent Hadoram his son to King David to salute him and to congratulate him because he had fought and defeated Hadadezer, for Hadadezer had had wars with Tou. And Hadoram brought with him all manner of vessels of gold, silver, and bronze.

11 ف َكَرَّسَها داوُدُ للهِ أيضاً مَعَ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ الَّتِي غَنِمَها مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ، مِنْ أدُومَ، وَمُوآبَ، وَالعَمُّونِيِّينَ، وَالفِلِسْطِيِّينَ، وَبَنِي عَمالِيقَ.

King David dedicated them also to the Lord, with the silver and the gold he brought from all these nations: Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and the Amalekites.

12 و َقَتَلَ أبْشايُ بنُ صُرُوِيَّةَ ثَمانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ألفَ أدُومِيٍّ فِي وادِي المِلْحِ.

Also Abishai son of Zeruiah slew 18, 000 of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13 و َوَضَعَ حامِياتٍ عَسْكَرِيَّةً فِي أدُومَ. وَصارَ كُلُّ أهلِ أدُومَ خُدّاماً لِداوُدَ خاضِعِينَ لَهُ. وَكانَ اللهُ يَنصُرُ داوُدَ حَيثُما تَوَجَّهَ. حاشِيَةُ داوُد

He put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the Lord preserved and gave victory to David wherever he went.

14 ف َحَكَمَ داوُدُ كُلَّ إسْرائِيلَ، وَكانَ يَحكُمُ شَعبَهُ بِالحَقَّ وَالإنْصافِ.

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

15 و َكانَ يُوآبُ بنُ صُرُوِيَّةَ قائِدَ الجَيْشِ. وَكانَ يَهُوشافاطُ بْنُ أخِيلُودَ مُسَجِّلَ الأحْداثِ.

Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;

16 و َكانَ صادُوقُ بْنُ أخِيطُوبَ وَأبِيمالِكُ بْنُ أبِيثامارَ كاهِنَيْنِ وَكانَ شُوشا كاتِباً.

Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar were the priests; and Shavsha was secretary;

17 و َكانَ بَنايا بْنُ يَهُوياداعَ مَسْؤُولاً عَنِ الكَرِيتِيِّينَ وَالفَلِيتِيِّينَ. وَكانَ أبْناءُ داوُدَ رُؤَساءَ المَسْؤُولِينَ تَحتَ إمرَةِ المَلِكِ.

Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chiefs next to the king.
