2 Samuel 8

1And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי־כֵן וַיַּךְ דָּוִד אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּכְנִיעֵם וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד אֶת־מֶתֶג הָאַמָּה מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּים׃ (3784)

2And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

וַיַּךְ אֶת־מֹואָב וַיְמַדְּדֵם בַּחֶבֶל הַשְׁכֵּב אֹותָם אַרְצָה וַיְמַדֵּד שְׁנֵי־חֲבָלִים לְהָמִית וּמְלֹא הַחֶבֶל לְהַחֲיֹות וַתְּהִי מֹואָב לְדָוִד לַעֲבָדִים נֹשְׂאֵי מִנְחָה׃ (4416)

3David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

וַיַּךְ דָּוִד אֶת־הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן־רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צֹובָה בְּלֶכְתֹּו לְהָשִׁיב יָדֹו בִּנְהַר־ (פְּרָת ׃ ק) (3058)

4And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִד מִמֶּנּוּ אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע־מֵאֹות פָּרָשִׁים וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ רַגְלִי וַיְעַקֵּר דָּוִד אֶת־כָּל־הָרֶכֶב וַיֹּותֵר מִמֶּנּוּ מֵאָה רָכֶב׃ (5181)

5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

וַתָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּמֶּשֶׂק לַעְזֹר לַהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צֹובָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִד בַּאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִים־וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִישׁ׃ (3655)

6Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

וַיָּשֶׂם דָּוִד נְצִבִים בַּאֲרַם דַּמֶּשֶׂק וַתְּהִי אֲרָם לְדָוִד לַעֲבָדִים נֹושְׂאֵי מִנְחָה וַיֹּשַׁע יְהוָה אֶת־דָּוִד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָךְ׃ (4016)

7And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד אֵת שִׁלְטֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ אֶל עַבְדֵי הֲדַדְעָזֶר וַיְבִיאֵם יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃ (2491)

8And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

וּמִבֶּטַח וּמִבֵּרֹתַי עָרֵי הֲדַדְעָזֶר לָקַח הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד נְחֹשֶׁת הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד׃ (2555)

9When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעִי מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִד אֵת כָּל־חֵיל הֲדַדְעָזֶר׃ (2307)

10Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

וַיִּשְׁלַח תֹּעִי אֶת־יֹורָם־בְּנֹו אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ־דָּוִד לִשְׁאָל־לֹו לְשָׁלֹום וּלְבָרֲכֹו עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי־אִישׁ מִלְחֲמֹות תֹּעִי הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וּבְיָדֹו הָיוּ כְּלֵי־כֶסֶף וּכְלֵי־זָהָב וּכְלֵי נְחֹשֶׁת׃ (6652)

11Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

גַּם־אֹתָם הִקְדִּישׁ הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לַיהוָה עִם־הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ מִכָּל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר כִּבֵּשׁ׃ (3265)

12Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

מֵאֲרָם וּמִמֹּואָב וּמִבְּנֵי עַמֹּון וּמִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵעֲמָלֵק וּמִשְּׁלַל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן־רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צֹובָה׃ (2993)

13And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.

וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִד שֵׁם בְּשֻׁבֹו מֵהַכֹּותֹו אֶת־אֲרָם בְּגֵיא־מֶלַח שְׁמֹונָה עָשָׂר אָלֶף׃ (3345)

14And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

וַיָּשֶׂם בֶּאֱדֹום נְצִבִים בְּכָל־אֱדֹום שָׂם נְצִבִים וַיְהִי כָל־אֱדֹום עֲבָדִים לְדָוִד וַיֹּושַׁע יְהוָה אֶת־דָּוִד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלָךְ׃ (2979)

15And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

וַיִּמְלֹךְ דָּוִד עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְהִי דָוִד עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה לְכָל־עַמֹּו׃ (2061)

16And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

וְיֹואָב בֶּן־צְרוּיָה עַל־הַצָּבָא וִיהֹושָׁפָט בֶּן־אֲחִילוּד מַזְכִּיר׃ (1390)

17And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

וְצָדֹוק בֶּן־אֲחִיטוּב וַאֲחִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן־אֶבְיָתָר כֹּהֲנִים וּשְׂרָיָה סֹופֵר׃ (2066)

18And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.

וּבְנָיָהוּ בֶּן־יְהֹויָדָע וְהַכְּרֵתִי וְהַפְּלֵתִי וּבְנֵי דָוִד כֹּהֲנִים הָיוּ׃ (1636)
