1 Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐτροπώσατο αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν Γὲθ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων.

2 Καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν Μωὰβ, καὶ ἦσαν Μωὰβ παῖδες τῷ Δαυὶδ φέροντες δῶρα·

3 Καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὸν Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ Ἠμάθ, πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην·

4 Καὶ προκατελάβετο Δαυὶδ αὐτῶν χίλια ἅρματα καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἵππων καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν· καὶ παρέλυσεν Δαυεὶδ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα, καὶ ὑπελίπετο ἐξ αὐτῶν ἑκατὸν ἅρματα.

5 Καὶ ἦλθεν Σύρος ἐκ Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλεῖ Σουβά, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.

6 Καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ φρουρὰν ἐν Συρίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Δαμασκὸν, καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Δαυεὶδ εἰς παῖδας φέροντας δῶρα· καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος Δαυίδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο.

7 Καὶ ἔλαβεν Δαυεὶδ τοὺς κλοιοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς οἳ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας Ἁδραάζαρ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.

8 Καὶ ἐκ τῆς Μαγαβὲθ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν πόλεων τῶν Ἀδρααζὰρ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ χαλκὸν πολὺν σφόδρα· ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν, καὶ τοὺς στύλους καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ χαλκᾶ.

9 καὶ ἤκουσε Θωὰ βασιλεὺς Ἠμὰθ, ὅτι ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὴν πᾶσαν δύναμιν Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλέως Σουβά·

10 Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Ἀδουρὰμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ του εὐλογῆσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπολέμησε τὸν Ἁδρααζαρ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀνὴρ πολέμιος Θῶα ἦν τῷ Ἁδραάζαρ· καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ, καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ,

11 Καὶ τὰ χαλκᾶ, καὶ ταῦτα ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τῷ κυρίῳ, μετὰ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου οὗ ἔλαβεν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἐξ Ἰδουμαίας, καὶ Μωὰβ, καὶ ἐξ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐξ Ἀμαλήκ.

12 Καὶ Ἀβεσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐν κοιλάδι τῶν ἁλῶν, ὀκτὼκαὶδεκα χιλιάδας.

13 Καὶ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι φρουρὰς, καὶ ἦσαν πάντες οἱ Ἰδουμαῖοι παῖδες Δαυίδ· καὶ ἔσωζε Κύριος τὸν Δανὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο.

14 Καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἦν ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην τῷ παντὶ λαῷ αὐτοῦ.

15 Καὶ Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ἐπὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς, καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀχιλοὺδ ὁ ὑπομνηματογράφος,

16 καὶ Σαδὼκ υἱὸς Ἀχειτὼβ καὶ Αχειμέλεχ υἱὸς Ἀβιάθαρ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ Σουσὰ γραμματεύς,

17 καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ Χερεθὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ Φελεθί. καὶ υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ οἱ πρῶτοι διάδοχοι τοῦ βασιλέως.

1 And it came to pass afterwards, that David smote the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and tributaries.

3 And David smote Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power toward the river Euphrates.

4 And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry: and David houghed all the chariot horses , but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots.

5 And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David smote of the Syrian army twenty and two thousand men.

6 And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants to David: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

7 And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels.

9 And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had smitten the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba.

10 And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Adraazar, and smitten him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar.

11 And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations; from Idumæa, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec.

12 And Abesa son of Saruia smote the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand.

13 And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumæans became David's servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

14 So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice to all his people.

15 And Joab the son of Saruia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achilud was recorder.

16 And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Susa was the scribe;

17 and Banæas the son of Jodae was over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.
