Ampliamento territoriale del regno di Davide; pubblici ufficiali
18 (A)Dopo questi fatti, *Davide sconfisse i *Filistei, li umiliò e tolse di mano ai Filistei Gat e i villaggi vicini.
2 Sconfisse pure i *Moabiti; e i Moabiti divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide.
3 Davide sconfisse anche Adadezer, re di Soba, verso Camat, mentre egli andava a stabilire il suo dominio sul fiume Eufrate. 4 Davide gli prese mille carri, settemila cavalieri e ventimila fanti; tagliò i garretti a tutti i cavalli da tiro, ma riservò dei cavalli per cento carri.
5 Quando i *Siri di *Damasco vennero per soccorrere Adadezer re di Soba, Davide ne uccise ventiduemila. 6 Poi Davide mise delle guarnigioni nella Siria di Damasco, e i Siri divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide; e il Signore lo rendeva vittorioso dovunque egli andava.
7 Davide tolse ai servi di Adadezer i loro scudi d'oro e li portò a *Gerusalemme. 8 Davide prese anche una grande quantità di rame a Tibat e a Cun, città di Adadezer. *Salomone se ne serví per fare il *mare di rame, le colonne e gli utensili di rame.
9 Quando Tou, re di Camat, ebbe udito che Davide aveva sconfitto tutto l'esercito di Adadezer, re di Soba, 10 mandò al re Davide Adoram, suo figlio, per salutarlo e per benedirlo perché aveva mosso guerra a Adadezer e l'aveva sconfitto (Adadezer era sempre in guerra con Tou); e Adoram portò con sé ogni tipo di vasi d'oro, d'argento e di rame. 11 Il re Davide consacrò anche quelli al Signore, come aveva già consacrato l'argento e l'oro che aveva portato via a tutte le nazioni: agli *Edomiti, ai Moabiti, agli *Ammoniti, ai Filistei e agli *Amalechiti.
12 Abisai, figlio di Seruia, sconfisse pure diciottomila Edomiti nella valle del Sale. 13 Mise delle guarnigioni in Idumea, e tutti gli Edomiti divennero sudditi di Davide; e il Signore rendeva Davide vittorioso dovunque egli andava.
14 (B)Davide regnò su tutto *Israele, facendo valere il diritto e amministrando la giustizia a tutto il suo popolo. 15 *Ioab, figlio di Seruia, comandava l'esercito; Giosafat, figlio di Ailud, era archivista; 16 *Sadoc, figlio di Aitub, e Abimelec, figlio di *Abiatar, erano *sacerdoti; Savsa era segretario; 17 Benaia, figlio di Ieoiada, era capo dei Cheretei e dei Peletei; e i figli di Davide erano i primi al fianco del re.

David’s Victories(A)
18 In the course of time, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Gath and its surrounding villages from the control of the Philistines.
2 David also defeated the Moabites,(B) and they became subject to him and brought him tribute.
3 Moreover, David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah,(C) in the vicinity of Hamath, when he went to set up his monument at[a] the Euphrates River.(D) 4 David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand charioteers and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung(E) all but a hundred of the chariot horses.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus(F) came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand of them. 6 He put garrisons in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to him and brought him tribute. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.
7 David took the gold shields carried by the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 From Tebah[b] and Kun, towns that belonged to Hadadezer, David took a great quantity of bronze, which Solomon used to make the bronze Sea,(G) the pillars and various bronze articles.
9 When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold, of silver and of bronze.
11 King David dedicated these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold he had taken from all these nations: Edom(H) and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek.(I)
12 Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites(J) in the Valley of Salt. 13 He put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.
David’s Officials(K)
14 David reigned(L) over all Israel,(M) doing what was just and right for all his people. 15 Joab(N) son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder; 16 Zadok(O) son of Ahitub and Ahimelek[c](P) son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was secretary; 17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites;(Q) and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.

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.
