David’s Triumphs

8 (A)Now it happened afterward that David [a]defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took [b]control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines.

2 (B)And He [c]defeated (C)Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and a full line to keep alive. And (D)the Moabites became servants to David, (E)bringing tribute.

3 Then David [d]defeated (F)Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as (G)he went to restore his [e]power at the Euphrates River. 4 And David captured from him [f]1,700 horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David (H)hamstrung almost all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for a hundred chariots. 5 When (I)the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David [g]killed twenty-two thousand men among the Arameans. 6 Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and (J)the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And (K)the Lord helped David wherever he went. 7 David took the shields of gold which were [h]carried by the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from [i]Betah and (L)Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.

9 Now when Toi king of (M)Hamath heard that David had [j]defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, 10 Toi sent his son [k]Joram to King David to [l]greet him and bless him, because he had fought Hadadezer and [m]defeated him; for Hadadezer [n]had been at war with Toi. And [o]Joram brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze. 11 King David also (N)consecrated these gifts to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had consecrated from all the nations which he had subdued: 12 from [p]Aram, (O)Moab, (P)the sons of Ammon, (Q)the Philistines, (R)Amalek, and from the spoils of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 So (S)David made a name for himself when he returned from [q]killing eighteen thousand [r]Arameans in (T)the Valley of Salt. 14 He also put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put garrisons, and (U)all the Edomites became servants to David. And (V)the Lord helped David wherever he went.

15 So David reigned over all Israel; and David [s]administered justice and righteousness for all his people. 16 (W)Joab the son of Zeruiah was commander over the army, and (X)Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was (Y)secretary. 17 (Z)Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were (AA)priests, and Seraiah was (AB)scribe. 18 (AC)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [t]was over the (AD)Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were [u](AE)chief ministers.

David’s Further Conquests(A)

8 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.

2 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.

3 David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of (E)Zobah, as he went to recover (F)his territory at the River Euphrates. 4 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.

5 (H)When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians. 6 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. 7 And David took (J)the shields of gold that had belonged to the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 Also from [d]Betah and from (K)Berothai,[e] cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.

9 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.

撒母耳记下 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

大卫击败非利士人与摩押人(A)

8 这事以后，大卫攻打非利士人，制伏了他们。大卫从非利士人手中取得了京城的控制权。 2 他又击败摩押人，使他们躺在地上，用绳子量他们，把量两绳的杀死，让量一绳的存活。这样，摩押人就臣服大卫，给他进贡。

击败琐巴人(B)

3 琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢，往幼发拉底河去要夺回他统治这河的势力的时候，大卫就攻打他。 4 大卫从他那里掳获了战车一千辆，骑兵七千（《马索拉文本》作“骑兵一千七百”，现按《七十士译本》翻译；参《死海古卷》和代上18:4），步兵二万。大卫把所有战车的马的蹄筋都砍断，只留下一百辆战车的马（或译：“大卫毁坏了所有战车，只留下一百辆战车”）。

击败亚兰人(C)

5 大马士革的亚兰人来协助琐巴王哈大底谢，大卫就击杀了亚兰人二万二千。 6 于是大卫在大马士革的亚兰地驻军。这样亚兰人就臣服大卫，给他进贡。大卫无论到甚么地方去，耶和华都使他得胜。 7 大卫夺取了哈大底谢臣仆所拿的金盾牌，带回耶路撒冷。 8 大卫王又从哈大底谢的两座城比他和比罗他夺取了大量的铜。

9 哈马王陀以听见大卫打败了哈大底谢的全军， 10 就差派他的儿子约兰去见大卫王，向他问安，祝贺他，因为大卫和哈大底谢争战，竟击败了他。原来陀以常常与哈大底谢争战。约兰手里还带着一些银器、金器和铜器。 11 大卫王也把这些器皿，连同他从他征服的各国得来的金银都一起分别为圣，献给耶和华。 12 就是从以东、摩押、亚扪人、非利士人、亚玛力人所得来的，以及从琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢获得的战利品。

击败以东人(D)

13 大卫在盐谷击杀了一万八千以东人回来以后，就大有名声。 14 他又在以东设立防军；他在以东各地都设立防军，所有以东人就都臣服大卫。大卫无论到甚么地方去，耶和华都使他得胜。

大卫的重要臣仆(E)

15 大卫作王统治全以色列，以公平和正义对待所有的人。 16 洗鲁雅的儿子约押作军队的统帅，亚希律的儿子约沙法作史官， 17 亚希突的儿子撒督和亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒作祭司长，西莱雅作书记， 18 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统管基利提人和比利提人；大卫的众子都作领袖。
