1 Chronicles 18

David's victories over the Philistines, Moab, and Zobah

וַֽיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי-כֵן וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּכְנִיעֵם וַיִּקַּח אֶת-גַּת וּבְנֹתֶיהָ מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
1
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.
וַיַּךְ אֶת-מוֹאָב וַיִּֽהְיוּ מוֹאָב עֲבָדִים לְדָוִיד נֹֽשְׂאֵי מִנְחָֽה׃
2
And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד אֶת-הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָה חֲמָתָה בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לְהַצִּיב יָדוֹ בִּֽנְהַר-פְּרָֽת׃
3
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִיד מִמֶּנּוּ אֶלֶף רֶכֶב וְשִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים פָּֽרָשִׁים וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ רַגְלִי וַיְעַקֵּר דָּוִיד אֶת-כָּל-הָרֶכֶב וַיּוֹתֵר מִמֶּנּוּ מֵאָה רָֽכֶב׃
4
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.
וַיָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּרְמֶשֶׂק לַעְזוֹר לַֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד בַּֽאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִֽים-וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
5
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
וַיָּשֶׂם דָּוִיד בַּֽאֲרַם דַּרְמֶשֶׂק וַיְהִי אֲרָם לְדָוִיד עֲבָדִים נֹֽשְׂאֵי מִנְחָה וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהוָה לְדָוִיד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽךְ׃
6
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.
וַיִּקַּח דָּוִיד אֵת שִׁלְטֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ עַל עַבְדֵי הֲדַדְעָזֶר וַיְבִיאֵם יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
7
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
וּמִטִּבְחַת וּמִכּוּן עָרֵי הֲדַדְעֶזֶר לָקַח דָּוִיד נְחֹשֶׁת רַבָּה מְאֹד בָּהּ׀ עָשָׂה שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת-יָם הַנְּחֹשֶׁת וְאֶת-הָֽעַמּוּדִים וְאֵת כְּלֵי הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃
8
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.
וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעוּ מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִיד אֶת-כָּל-חֵיל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָֽה׃
9
Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת-הֲדֽוֹרָם-בְּנוֹ אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ-דָּוִיד ‫(לשאול)‬ לִשְׁאָל-לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם וּֽלְבָרֲכוֹ עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי-אִישׁ מִלְחֲמוֹת תֹּעוּ הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וְכֹל כְּלֵי זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּנְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
10
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 and brass.
גַּם-אֹתָם הִקְדִּישׁ הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד לַֽיהוָה עִם-הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר נָשָׂא מִכָּל-הַגּוֹיִם מֵֽאֱדוֹם וּמִמּוֹאָב וּמִבְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵֽעֲמָלֵֽק׃
11
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.
וְאַבְשַׁי בֶּן-צְרוּיָה הִכָּה אֶת-אֱדוֹם בְּגֵיא הַמֶּלַח שְׁמוֹנָה עָשָׂר אָֽלֶף׃
12
Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
וַיָּשֶׂם בֶּֽאֱדוֹם נְצִיבִים וַיִּֽהְיוּ כָל-אֱדוֹם עֲבָדִים לְדָוִיד וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהוָה אֶת-דָּוִיד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽךְ׃
13
And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

David's officials

וַיִּמְלֹךְ דָּוִיד עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְהִי עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה לְכָל-עַמּֽוֹ׃
14
So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
וְיוֹאָב בֶּן-צְרוּיָה עַל-הַצָּבָא וִיהֽוֹשָׁפָט בֶּן-אֲחִילוּד מַזְכִּֽיר׃
15
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
וְצָדוֹק בֶּן-אֲחִיטוּב וַֽאֲבִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֶבְיָתָר כֹּֽהֲנִים וְשַׁוְשָׁא סוֹפֵֽר׃
16
And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
וּבְנָיָהוּ בֶּן-יְהוֹיָדָע עַל-הַכְּרֵתִי וְהַפְּלֵתִי וּבְנֵֽי-דָוִיד הָרִֽאשֹׁנִים לְיַד הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
17
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
