ダビデの勝利

そののち、ダビデはペリシテ人の大きな町メテグ・ハアマを奪い取り、彼らの心をくじきました。 また、モアブの地を襲った時には、捕虜を列に並ばせたうえ、地面に伏させ、各列の三分の二の者を殺し、残り三分の一を助けました。助かったモアブ人はダビデのしもべとなり、毎年、貢ぎ物を納める者になりました。

ダビデはまたユーフラテス川での戦いで、レホブの子、ツォバの王ハダデエゼルの軍を打ち破りました。ハダデエゼルが勢力を挽回しようと攻めて来たからです。 ダビデは騎兵千七百と歩兵二万を捕縛し、さらに、百頭だけ残して、戦車用の馬の足の筋をすべて切りました。 また、ハダデエゼルの援軍としてダマスコから参戦したシリヤ人二万二千人を打ちました。 それでダビデはダマスコに守備隊を置き、シリヤ人はダビデに服従し、毎年、貢ぎ物を納めるようになりました。このように主は、ダビデの行く先々どこででも勝利をもたらしたのです。 ダビデはハダデエゼルの家臣たちが持っていた金の盾を奪い、エルサレムに持ち帰りました。 また、ハダデエゼルの町ベタフとベロタイから奪った大量の青銅も持ち帰りました。

ハマテの王トイは、ダビデがハダデエゼルの軍を破り、大勝利を収めたことを聞くと、 10 その子ヨラムを使者に立て、祝いのことばを伝えました。ハダデエゼルとトイとは敵対関係にあったのです。ヨラムはダビデに金、銀、青銅の器を贈りました。 11-12 ダビデはそれらを全部、シリヤ、モアブ、アモン、ペリシテ人、アマレク、ハダデエゼル王から奪い取った金銀とともに主にささげました。

13 ダビデの名声はいよいよ高まりました。ダビデは帰還すると、塩の谷でエドム人一万八千を打ち滅ぼし、 14 エドム中に兵を駐屯させました。エドム人はみな、イスラエルに貢ぎ物をささげるしもべとなったのです。これもまた主が、行く先々で勝利を与えたことの一つです。

15 ダビデは公正にイスラエルを治め、だれに対しても公平でした。 16 軍の総司令官はツェルヤの子ヨアブ、主の書記官はアヒルデの子ヨシャパテでした。 17 アヒトブの子ツァドクとエブヤタルの子アヒメレクは祭司の長、セラヤは王の秘書官、 18 エホヤダの子ベナヤは護衛隊長、ダビデの子たちは側近を務めました。

And 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.

And 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.

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

And 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.

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

Then 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.

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

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

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

10 Then 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:

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

12 Of 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.

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

14 And 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.

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

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

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

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

David’s Further Conquests(A)

After this it came to pass that David [a]attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took [b]Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.

Then (B)he defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s (C)servants, and (D)brought tribute.

David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of (E)Zobah, as he went to recover (F)his territory at the River Euphrates. David took from him one thousand chariots, [c]seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David (G)hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.

(H)When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians. Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. So (I)the Lord preserved David wherever he went. And David took (J)the shields of gold that had belonged to the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. Also from [d]Betah and from (K)Berothai,[e] cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.

When [f]Toi king of (L)Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer, 10 then Toi sent [g]Joram his son to King David, to [h]greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi); and Joram brought with him articles of silver, articles of gold, and articles of bronze. 11 King David also (M)dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations which he had subdued— 12 from [i]Syria, from Moab, from the people of Ammon, from the (N)Philistines, from Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 And David made himself a (O)name when he returned from killing (P)eighteen thousand [j]Syrians in (Q)the Valley of Salt. 14 He also put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and (R)all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.

David’s Administration(S)

15 So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered judgment and justice to all his people. 16 (T)Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; (U)Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 17 (V)Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; [k]Seraiah was the [l]scribe; 18 (W)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the (X)Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were [m]chief ministers.
