| 1 | En hierna het Dawid die Filistyne verslaan en hulle onderwerp; en hy het Gat met sy onderhorige plekke uit die hand van die Filistyne geneem. | Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. |
| 2 | Hy het ook die Moabiete verslaan, sodat die Moabiete Dawid se belastingpligtige knegte geword het. | And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. |
| 3 | Dawid het ook Hadaréser, die koning van Soba, na Hamat toe verslaan, toe hy getrek het om sy mag aan die Eufraatrivier te bevestig. | And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates. |
| 4 | En Dawid het van hom duisend strydwaens en sewe duisend perderuiters en twintig duisend man voetgangers afgeneem; en Dawid het al die trekperde se hakskeensenings afgesny, maar honderd trekperde daarvan laat oorbly. | And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots. |
| 5 | En die Arameërs van Damaskus het gekom om Hadaréser, die koning van Soba, te help; maar Dawid het onder die Arameërs twee en twintig duisend man verslaan. | And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. |
| 6 | En Dawid het wagposte in Aram-Damaskus geplaas, sodat die Arameërs Dawid se belastingpligtige knegte was; en die HERE het Dawid die oorwinning gegee oral waar hy getrek het. | Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. |
| 7 | En Dawid het die goue skilde geneem wat die dienaars van Hadaréser gedra het, en dit na Jerusalem gebring. | And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. |
| 8 | En uit Tibhat en uit Kun, stede van Hadaréser, het Dawid ontsaglik veel koper weggeneem; daarvan het Salomo die kopersee en die pilare en die kopergereedskappe gemaak. | Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. |
| 9 | Toe Toü, die koning van Hamat, hoor dat Dawid die hele leërmag van Hadaréser, die koning van Soba, verslaan het, | Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; |
| 10 | stuur hy sy seun Hadóram na koning Dawid om hom na die welstand te vra en hom geluk te wens dat hy teen Hadaréser geveg en hom verslaan het, want Hadaréser was 'n vyand van Toü. Ook allerhande goue en silwer-- en kopervoorwerpe het hy sa | He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver |
| 11 | Dit het koning Dawid ook aan die HERE geheilig saam met die silwer en die goud wat hy van al die nasies geneem het, van die Edomiete en van die Moabiete en van die kinders van Ammon en van die Filistyne en van die Amalekiete. | Them also king David dedicated unto 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 | Ook het Abísai, die seun van Serúja, die Edomiete in die Soutdal verslaan, agttien duisend. | Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand. |
| 13 | En hy het wagposte in Edom geplaas, sodat al die Edomiete knegte van Dawid geword het; en die HERE het Dawid die oorwinning gegee oral waar hy getrek het. | And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. |
| 14 | En Dawid het oor die hele Israel geregeer en reg en geregtigheid aan sy hele volk gedoen. | So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. |
| 15 | En Joab, die seun van Serúja, was oor die leër; en Jósafat, die seun van Ahílud, was kanselier. | And Joab the son Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. |
| 16 | En Sadok, die seun van Ahítub, en Ahiméleg, die seun van Abjatar, was priesters, en Sausa was skrywer. | And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe; |
| 17 | En Benája, die seun van Jójada, was oor die Kreti en die Pleti, en die oudste seuns van Dawid was in diens van die koning. | And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethiten of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe; |
| 18 | And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king. |
