(A)Dawudi n’awangula n’Abamowaabu, n’alagira buli omu ku bo yebake wansi, n’abapimako n’olukoba olupima. Buli eyali ebipimo bibiri yattibwanga, naye oyo eyali ow’ebipimo ebisatu nga y’alama. Abamowaabu[a] ne bafuuka baddu ba Dawudi ne bamuwanga obusuulu. (B)Ate era Dawudi n’awangula Kadadezeri mutabani wa Lekobu, kabaka w’e Zoba, bwe yali nga yeddiza amatwale ge ku Mugga Fulaati. (C)Dawudi n’awamba amagaali ga Kadadezeri lukumi, n’abeebagala embalaasi kasanvu, n’abaserikale ab’ebigere emitwalo ebiri. N’atema kumpi embalaasi zonna, n’azilemaza n’alekawo kikumi ku zo.

(D)Awo Abasuuli ab’e Ddamasiko ne bajja okubeera Kadadezeri kabaka w’e Zoba, naye Dawudi n’atta emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri ku bo. (E)Dawudi n’assa ebibinja eby’abaserikale mu Busuuli e Ddamasiko, Abasuuli ne bafuuka baddu be, era ne bamuwanga obusuulu. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi buli gye yagendanga.

(F)Dawudi n’anyaga engabo eza zaabu ezasitulibwanga abaserikale ba Kadadezeri n’azireeta e Yerusaalemi. (G)Kabaka Dawudi n’anyaga n’ebikomo bingi ddala okuva mu Beta ne mu Berosayi, ebibuga ebyali ebya Kadadezeri.

(H)Awo Toyi kabaka w’e Kamasi bwe yawulira nga Dawudi awangudde eggye lyonna erya Kadadezeri, 10 n’atuma mutabani we Yolaamu eri kabaka Dawudi okumulamusaako, n’okumuyozaayoza okuwangula olutalo wakati we ne Kadadezeri. Kadadezeri yalwananga ne Toyi. Yolaamu n’amutwalira ebintu bya ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebikomo.

11 (I)Kabaka Dawudi n’abiwonga eri Mukama, nga bwe yakola effeeza ne zaabu bye yaggya mu mawanga amalala ge yawangula. 12 (J)Amawanga gaali: Busuuli, ne Mowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abafirisuuti ne Amaleki; n’awonga n’omunyago gwa Kadadezeri, mutabani wa Lekobu, kabaka w’e Zoba.

13 (K)Erinnya lya Dawudi ne litutumuka, bwe yakomawo okuva okutta Abasuuli omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo.

14 (L)N’ateeka ebibinja bya baserikale mu Busuuli yonna, Abasuuli bonna ne bafuuka baddu ba Dawudi. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi buli gye yagendanga.

Amannya g’Abakungu ba Dawudi

15 Dawudi n’afuga Isirayiri yenna, ng’afuga abantu be bonna mu bwenkanya ne mu mazima. 16 (M)Yowaabu mutabani wa Zeruyiya ye yali omuduumizi w’eggye, Yekosafaati mutabani wa Akirudi nga ye mujjukiza, 17 (N)Zadooki[b] mutabani wa Akitubu ne Akimereki mutabani wa Abiyasaali nga be bakabona, Seroya nga ye muwandiisi, 18 (O)Benaaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada nga ye mukulu w’Abakeresi n’Abaperesi[c] abaakuumanga ba kabaka, batabani ba Dawudi nga be bawi ba magezi ab’obwakabaka.

David’s Victories(A)

In the course of time, David defeated the Philistines(B) and subdued(C) them, and he took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.

David also defeated the Moabites.(D) He made them lie down on the ground and measured them off with a length of cord. Every two lengths of them were put to death, and the third length was allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.(E)

Moreover, David defeated Hadadezer(F) son of Rehob, king of Zobah,(G) when he went to restore his monument at[a] the Euphrates(H) River. David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand charioteers[b] and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung(I) all but a hundred of the chariot horses.

When the Arameans of Damascus(J) came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand of them. He put garrisons(K) in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject(L) to him and brought tribute. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.(M)

David took the gold shields(N) that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. From Tebah[c] and Berothai,(O) towns that belonged to Hadadezer, King David took a great quantity of bronze.

When Tou[d] king of Hamath(P) heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,(Q) 10 he sent his son Joram[e] to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.

11 King David dedicated(R) these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued: 12 Edom[f](S) and Moab,(T) the Ammonites(U) and the Philistines,(V) and Amalek.(W) He also dedicated the plunder taken from Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 And David became famous(X) after he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites[g] in the Valley of Salt.(Y)

14 He put garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites(Z) became subject to David.(AA) The Lord gave David victory(AB) wherever he went.(AC)

David’s Officials(AD)

15 David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right(AE) for all his people. 16 Joab(AF) son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat(AG) son of Ahilud was recorder;(AH) 17 Zadok(AI) son of Ahitub and Ahimelek son of Abiathar(AJ) were priests; Seraiah was secretary;(AK) 18 Benaiah(AL) son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites(AM) and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priests.[h]

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.
