1 Un notika, pēc tam Dāvids sakāva filistiešus un viņš tos pakļāva sev, un Dāvids pārņēma valdības grožus no filistiešu rokām. 2 Viņš uzvarēja arī Moābu, un, pie zemes nogāzis, viņš moābiešus sadalīja ar mērnieku auklu; viņš nomērīja divi daļas nokaušanai, bet vienu pilnu mērauklas daļu dzīvošanai. Tā Moābs kļuva Dāvida kalps un maksāja meslus. 3 Pēc tam Dāvids uzvarēja Hadadēzeru, Rehoba dēlu, Cobas ķēniņu, kad tas bija izgājis, lai atkal nostiprinātu savu varu pie Eifratas. 4 Un Dāvids saņēma no viņa gūstā tūkstoš septiņi simti jātnieku un divdesmit tūkstošus kājnieku; viņš lika pārgriezt zirgiem kāju dzīslas, bet sev viņš paturēja simts ratu zirgus. 5 Kad sīrieši no Damaskas nāca Cobas ķēniņam Hadadēzeram palīgā, tad Dāvids no šiem sīriešiem nonāvēja divdesmit divus tūkstošus vīru. 6 Un Dāvids novietoja uzraugus Damaskā Sīrijā, tā sīrieši kļuva Dāvidam par kalpiem un nesa meslus. Un Tas Kungs Dāvidam visur palīdzēja, kur vien viņš gāja. 7 Un Dāvids ņēma zelta vairogus, kas bija piederējuši Hadadēzera galma ļaudīm, un viņš lika tos nonest Jeruzālemē. 8 No Hadadēzera pilsētām, Betas un Berotajas, Dāvids paņēma daudz vara. 9 Bet, kad Hāmatas ķēniņš Tous dzirdēja, ka Dāvids bija sakāvis visu Hadadēzera karaspēku, 10 tad Tous sūtīja savu dēlu Jorāmu pie ķēniņa Dāvida apvaicāties par viņa labklājību un viņu sveicināt un svētīt, tādēļ ka viņš bija karojis ar Hadadēzeru un bija to sakāvis, jo Tous bija Hadadēzera pretinieks. Un viņam līdzi bija zelta, sudraba un vara priekšmeti. 11 Arī tos ķēniņš Dāvids veltīja kā svētītus Tam Kungam kopā ar to sudrabu un zeltu, ko viņš bija novēlējis Tam Kungam no visām tām tautām, ko viņš bija sev pakļāvis, 12 proti, no Sīrijas, no Moāba, no Amona bērniem, no filistiešiem, no amalekiešiem, no Hadadēzera, Rehoba dēla, Cobas ķēniņa, iegūtām mantām. 13 Un Dāvids gādāja sev vārdu, pārnākdams no kaujas, kur viņš pie Sāls ielejas bija sakāvis edomiešus, astoņpadsmit tūkstošus vīru. 14 Un viņš Edomā nolika uzraugus, tā ka visa Edoma zeme bija viņam pakļauta un visi edomieši kļuva Dāvidam par kalpiem. Un Tas Kungs palīdzēja Dāvidam visur, kur vien viņš gāja. 15 Tā Dāvids valdīja pār visu Israēlu, un Dāvids rūpējās par tiesu un taisnību visā savā tautā. 16 Un Joābs, Cerujas dēls, bija karaspēka virspavēlnieks, un Jošafats, Ahiluda dēls, bija padomnieks. 17 Un Cadoks, Ahituba dēls, un Abjatars, Ahimeleha dēls, bija priesteri, bet Seraja bija rakstvedis. 18 Un Benaja, Jojadas dēls, bija virsnieks pār krētiešiem un plētiešiem, bet Dāvida dēli saucās priesteri.
David's Military Victories
(1 Chronicles 18.1-17)1 Some time later King David attacked the Philistines again, defeated them, and ended their control over the land.
2 Then he defeated the Moabites. He made the prisoners lie down on the ground and put two out of every three of them to death. So the Moabites became his subjects and paid taxes to him.
3 Then he defeated the king of the Syrian state of Zobah, Hadadezer son of Rehob, as Hadadezer was on his way to restore his control over the territory by the upper Euphrates River. 4 David captured seventeen hundred of his cavalry and twenty thousand of his foot soldiers. He kept enough horses for a hundred chariots and crippled all the rest.
5 When the Syrians of Damascus sent an army to help King Hadadezer, David attacked it and killed twenty-two thousand men. 6 Then he set up military camps in their territory, and they became his subjects and paid taxes to him. The Lord made David victorious everywhere. 7 David captured the gold shields carried by Hadadezer's officials and took them to Jerusalem. 8 He also took a great quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, cities ruled by Hadadezer.
9 King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated all of Hadadezer's army. 10 So he sent his son Joram to greet King David and congratulate him for his victory over Hadadezer, against whom Toi had fought many times. Joram took David presents made of gold, silver, and bronze. 11 King David dedicated them for use in worship, along with the silver and gold he took from the nations he had conquered— 12 Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, and Amalek—as well as part of the loot he had taken from Hadadezer.
13 David became even more famous when he returned from killing eighteen thousand Edomites in Salt Valley. 14 He set up military camps throughout Edom, and the people there became his subjects. The Lord made David victorious everywhere.
15 David ruled over all of Israel and made sure that his people were always treated fairly and justly. 16 Joab, whose mother was Zeruiah, was the commander of the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was in charge of the records; 17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the court secretary; 18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of David's bodyguards; and David's sons were priests.
