Chapter 18

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

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

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

καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν Μωάβ, καὶ ἦσαν Μωὰβ παῖδες τῷ Δαυὶδ φέροντες δῶρα.

³ And David smote Hadadezer king of Zobah of Hamath, 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 Hadadezer king of Zobah; 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 Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. ⁸ And David took out of Tibhath, and out of the chief cities of Hadadezer very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels.

καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὸν Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ Ἡμάθ, πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην. καὶ προκατελάβετο Δαυὶδ αὐτῶν χίλια ἅρματα καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἵππων καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν· καὶ παρέλυσε Δαυὶδ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα καὶ ὑπελίπετο ἐξ αὐτῶν ἑκατὸν ἅρματα. καὶ ἦλθε Σύρος ἐκ Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλεῖ Σουβά, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν. καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ φρουρὰν ἐν Συρίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Δαμασκόν, καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς παῖδας φέροντας δῶρα, καὶ ἔσωζε Κύριος Δαυὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπορεύετο. καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τοὺς κλοιοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς, οἳ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας Ἀδρααζάρ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ. καὶ ἐκ τῆς μεταβηχὰς 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 And Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten the whole force of Hadadezer king of Zobah. ¹⁰ And he sent Hadoram his son to King David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him; for Tou was the enemy of Hadadezer. 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 Edom, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

καὶ ἤκουσε Θωὰ βασιλεὺς Ἡμὰθ ὅτι ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὴν πᾶσαν δύναμιν Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλέως Σουβά, καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν Ἀδουρὰμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπολέμησε τὸν Ἀδρααζὰρ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀνὴρ πολέμιος Θωὰ ἦν τῷ Ἀδρααζάρ. καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ 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 And Abishai son of Zeruiah smote the Edomites in the Valley of Salt, eighteen thousand. ¹³ And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Edomites became David’s servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

καὶ Ἀβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐν κοιλάδι τῶν ἁλῶν, ὀκτωκαίδεκα χιλιάδας. καὶ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι φρουράς· καὶ ἦσαν πάντες οἱ Ἰδουμαῖοι παῖδες Δαυίδ. καὶ ἔσωζε Κύριος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπορεύετο.

¹⁴ So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice to all his people. ¹⁵ And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder. ¹⁶ And Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha [was] the scribe; ¹⁷ and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.

καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἦν ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην τῷ παντὶ λαῷ αὐτοῦ. καὶ Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας ἐπὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀχιλοὺδ ὑπομνηματογράφος καὶ Σαδὼκ υἱὸς Ἀχιτὼβ καὶ Ἀχιμέλεχ υἱὸς Ἀβιάθαρ ἱερεῖς καὶ Σουσὰ γραμματεὺς καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ Χερεθθὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ Φελεθθὶ καὶ υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ οἱ πρῶτοι διάδοχοι τοῦ βασιλέως.
