1後來大衛打敗並征服了非利士人，奪取了他們的都城。2他又打敗了摩押人，讓他們並排躺在地上，然後用繩子去量，每兩繩之內的人都要被殺掉，第三繩的人留下性命。從此，摩押人臣服於大衛，向他進貢。3利合的兒子瑣巴王哈大底謝出來要恢復他在幼發拉底河一帶的勢力，大衛打敗了他，4俘獲一千七百名騎兵和兩萬名步兵，砍斷拉戰車的馬匹的蹄筋，只留下夠拉一百輛戰車的馬匹。5大馬士革的亞蘭人前來支援瑣巴王哈大底謝，大衛殺了他們兩萬二千人，6還派軍駐守亞蘭國的大馬士革，亞蘭人臣服大衛，向他進貢。耶和華使大衛無往而不勝。7大衛奪走哈大底謝侍從的金盾牌，帶回耶路撒冷，8又從哈大底謝統治的比他和比羅他兩座城中奪走大量的銅。9哈馬王陀以聽說大衛打敗哈大底謝全軍，10就派兒子約蘭帶著許多金銀銅器去朝見大衛王，向他請安，祝賀他打敗了哈大底謝。因為陀以常常和哈大底謝交戰。11大衛王把這些器皿和他征服亞蘭人、摩押人、亞捫人、非利士人、亞瑪力人和利合的兒子瑣巴王哈大底謝時所得的金銀都分別出來，奉獻給耶和華。13大衛在鹽谷殺了一萬八千亞蘭人，聲威大振。14他又在以東全境設駐軍，以東人都臣服於他。耶和華使他無往而不勝。15大衛統治全以色列，他秉公行義治理百姓。16那時，洗魯雅的兒子約押做元帥，亞希律的兒子約沙法做史官，17亞希突的兒子撒督和亞比亞他的兒子亞希米勒做祭司長，西萊雅做書記，18耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅統管基利提人和比利提人。大衛的眾子都做首領。

David’s Victories
1After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.2And he defeated Moab and he measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground. Two lines he measured to be put to death, and one full line to be spared. And the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.3David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the river Euphrates.4And David took from him 1,700 horsemen, and 20,000 foot soldiers. And David hamstrung all the chariot horses but left enough for 100 chariots.5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down 22,000 men of the Syrians.6Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.7And David took the shields of gold that were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.8And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.9When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer,10Toi sent his son Joram to King David, to ask about his health and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Hadadezer had often been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold, and of bronze.11These also King David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he dedicated from all the nations he subdued,12from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.13And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.14Then he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.
