2 Samuel 8
Nueva Versión Internacional
Victorias de David(A)
8 Pasado algún tiempo, David derrotó a los filisteos y los subyugó, quitándoles el control de Méteg Amá.
2 También derrotó a los moabitas, a quienes obligó a tenderse en el suelo y midió con un cordel; a los que cabían a lo largo de dos medidas los condenó a muerte, pero dejó con vida a los que quedaban dentro de la medida siguiente. Fue así como los moabitas pasaron a ser vasallos tributarios de David.
3 Además, David derrotó a Hadad Ezer, hijo del rey Rejob de Sobá, cuando Hadad Ezer trató de restablecer su dominio sobre la región del río Éufrates. 4 David capturó mil carros, siete mil jinetes[a] y veinte mil soldados de infantería; también rompió las patas de los caballos de tiro, aunque dejó los caballos suficientes para cien carros.
5 Luego, cuando los arameos de Damasco acudieron en auxilio de Hadad Ezer, rey de Sobá, David aniquiló a veintidós mil de ellos. 6 También puso guarniciones en Damasco, de modo que los arameos pasaron a ser vasallos tributarios de David. En todas las campañas de David, el Señor le daba la victoria.
7 En cuanto a los escudos de oro que llevaban los oficiales de Hadad Ezer, David se apropió de ellos y los trasladó a Jerusalén. 8 Así mismo se apoderó de una gran cantidad de bronce que había en las ciudades de Tébaj[b] y Berotay, poblaciones de Hadad Ezer.
9 Tou,[c] rey de Jamat, se enteró de que David había derrotado por completo al ejército de Hadad Ezer. 10 Como Tou también era enemigo de Hadad Ezer, envió a su hijo Jorán[d] a desearle bienestar al rey David y a felicitarlo por haber derrotado a Hadad Ezer en batalla. Jorán llevó consigo objetos de plata, de oro y de bronce, 11 los cuales el rey David consagró al Señor, tal como lo había hecho con la plata y el oro de todas las naciones que él había subyugado: 12 Edom,[e] Moab, Amón, Filistea y Amalec. También consagró el botín que había quitado a Hadad Ezer, hijo del rey Rejob de Sobá.
13 La fama de David creció aún más cuando regresó victorioso del valle de la Sal, donde aniquiló a dieciocho mil edomitas.
14 También puso guarniciones en Edom; las estableció por todo el país, de modo que los edomitas pasaron a ser vasallos tributarios de David. En todas sus campañas el Señor le daba la victoria.
Los oficiales de David(B)
15 David reinó sobre todo Israel, gobernando al pueblo entero con justicia y rectitud. 16 Joab, hijo de Sarvia, era general del ejército; Josafat, hijo de Ajilud, era el secretario; 17 Sadoc, hijo de Ajitob, y Ajimélec, hijo de Abiatar, eran sacerdotes; Seraías era el cronista; 18 Benaías, hijo de Joyadá, estaba al mando de los soldados quereteos y peleteos, y los hijos de David eran sacerdotes.

David’s Victories
8 After this, David defeated the Philistines,(A) subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah[a] from Philistine control.[b](B) 2 He also defeated the Moabites, and after making them lie down on the ground, he measured them off with a cord. He measured every two cord lengths of those to be put to death and one length of those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.(C)
3 David also defeated Hadadezer(D) son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who went to restore his control at the Euphrates River. 4 David captured 1,700 horsemen[c] and 20,000 foot soldiers from him, and he hamstrung all the horses(E) and kept 100 chariots.[d]
5 When the Arameans of Damascus(F) came to assist King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down 22,000 Aramean men. 6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and brought tribute. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.(G)
7 David took the gold shields of Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem.(H) 8 King David also took huge quantities of bronze from Betah[e] and Berothai, Hadadezer’s cities.
9 When King Toi of Hamath(I) heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer, 10 he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and to congratulate him because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Toi and Hadadezer had fought many wars. Joram had items of silver, gold, and bronze with him. 11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued(J)— 12 from Edom,[f] Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, the Amalekites, and the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 David made a reputation for himself when he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites[g] in the Valley of Salt.[h](K) 14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David.(L) The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.
15 So David reigned over all Israel, administering justice and righteousness for all his people.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army;
Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was court historian;
17 Zadok son of Ahitub
and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests;
Seraiah was court secretary;
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over
the Cherethites and the Pelethites;(M)
and David’s sons were chief officials.[i]

2 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)

He hamstrung(I) all but a hundred of the chariot horses.

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)
