Então Davi pôs guarnições em Síria de Damasco, e os sírios ficaram por servos de Davi, pagando-lhe tributos. E o Senhor lhe dava a vitória por onde quer que ia.

7 A nd David took the shields of gold that were on the slaves of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

E Davi tomou os escudos de ouro que os servos de Hadadézer usavam, e os trouxe para Jerusalém.

8 L ikewise from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a great quantity of brass.

10 t hen Toi sent Joram, his son, unto King David, to greet him peacefully and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him, for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought vessels of silver and vessels of gold and vessels of brass in his hand,

mandou-lhe seu filho Jorão para saudá-lo, e para felicitá-lo por haver pelejado contra Hadadézer e o haver derrotado; pois Hadadézer de contínuo fazia guerra a Toí. E Jorão trouxe consigo vasos de prata de ouro e de bronze,

11 w hich King David dedicated unto the LORD with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all Gentiles which he subdued

13 A nd David received fame when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt eighteen thousand men.

Assim Davi ganhou nome para si. E quando voltou, matou no Vale do Sal a dezoito mil edomitas.

14 A nd he put garrisons in Edom; he put garrisons throughout all Edom, and all those of Edom became David’s slaves. And the LORD saved David wherever he went.

E pôs guarnições em Edom; pô-las em todo o Edom, e todos os edomitas tornaram-se servos de Davi. E o Senhor lhe dava a vitória por onde quer que ia.

15 ¶ And David reigned over all Israel, and David executed justice and righteousness unto all his people.

Reinou, pois, Davi sobre todo o Israel, e administrava a justiça e a eqüidade a todo o seu povo.
