David’s Victory over His Enemies
18 And it happened that after David struck the Philistines and subdued them, he captured Gath and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 And he struck Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David, bearing tribute. 3 And David struck Hadadezer, king of Zobah-Hamath, as he set up his monument at the Euphrates River. 4 And David captured from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And David hamstrung all the chariot horses but left one hundred of them to remain for chariots. 5 And when the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah-Hamath, David struck down twenty-two thousand men of Aram. 6 Then David set up garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to David, bearing tribute. And Yahweh delivered David wherever he went. 7 And David took small round shields of gold that were upon the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David captured very much bronze. Solomon made the bronze sea with it along with the columns and objects of bronze.
9 And when Tou the king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer the king of Zobah, 10 he sent Hadoram his son to King David to ask him for peace and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Tou had been at war[a] with Hadadezer. And he brought with him all the objects of gold, silver, and bronze. 11 King David dedicated these also to Yahweh, along with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, from Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 And Abishai son of Zeruiah defeated eighteen thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. 13 And he put garrisons in Edom, and all Edom became servants to David. And Yahweh delivered David wherever he went.
David’s Administration
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice[b] and righteousness to all his people. 15 And Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder. 16 And Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was secretary. 17 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and the Pelethites. And the sons of David were chief officials under the hand of the king.

David extiende sus dominios(A)
18 Después de estas cosas aconteció que David derrotó a los filisteos, los humilló y les arrebató Gat y sus villas. 2 También derrotó a Moab, y los moabitas fueron siervos de David, y le pagaban tributo.
3 Asimismo derrotó David a Hadad-ezer, rey de Soba, en Hamat, cuando éste iba a asegurar su dominio sobre la región del Éufrates. 4 David le capturó mil carros, siete mil soldados de los carros y veinte mil hombres de a pie; y desjarretó David los caballos de todos los carros, excepto los de cien carros que dejó.
5 Luego llegaron los sirios de Damasco en ayuda de Hadad-ezer, rey de Soba, pero David hirió de ellos veintidós mil hombres. 6 Y puso David una guarnición en Siria de Damasco, y los sirios fueron hechos siervos de David, sometidos a tributo; pues Jehová daba la victoria a David dondequiera que iba.
7 Tomó también David los escudos de oro que llevaban los siervos de Hadad-ezer, y los llevó a Jerusalén. 8 Asimismo de Tibhat y de Cun, ciudades de Hadad-ezer, tomó David muchísimo bronce, con el que Salomón hizo el mar de bronce, las columnas y los utensilios de bronce.
9 Cuando oyó Toi, rey de Hamat, que David había deshecho todo el ejército de Hadad-ezer, rey de Soba, 10 envió a Adoram, su hijo, al rey David, para saludarlo y bendecirlo por haber peleado contra Hadad-ezer y haberlo vencido, ya que Toi estaba en guerra con Hadad-ezer. Le envió también toda clase de utensilios de oro, de plata y de bronce; 11 los cuales el rey David dedicó a Jehová, junto a la plata y el oro que había tomado de todas las naciones de Edom, de Moab, de los hijos de Amón, de los filisteos y de Amalec.
12 Además de esto, Abisai hijo de Sarvia destrozó en el valle de la Sal a dieciocho mil edomitas. 13 Puso una guarnición en Edom, y todos los edomitas fueron siervos de David; pues Jehová daba el triunfo a David dondequiera que iba.
Funcionarios del reino(B)
14 Reinó David sobre todo Israel, y juzgaba con justicia a todo su pueblo. 15 Joab hijo de Sarvia era general del ejército, y Josafat hijo de Ahilud, canciller. 16 Sadoc hijo de Ahitob, y Abimelec hijo de Abiatar eran sacerdotes, y Savsa, secretario. 17 Benaía hijo de Joiada estaba sobre los cereteos y peleteos; y los hijos de David eran los principales ayudantes del rey.
1 Chronicles 18
King James Version
18 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 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
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.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
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.
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire 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.
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.
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
