2.Samuel 8 | English Standard Version

David’s Victories

1 After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 And 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. 3 David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the river Euphrates. 4 And 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. 5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down 22,000 men of the Syrians. 6 Then 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. 7 And David took the shields of gold that were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze. 9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, 10 Toi 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. 11 These also King David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he dedicated from all the nations he subdued, 12 from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 14 Then 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.

大卫战胜敌人

1 后来大卫打败并征服了非利士人，夺取了他们的都城。 2 他又打败了摩押人，让他们并排躺在地上，然后用绳子去量，每两绳之内的人都要被杀掉，第三绳的人留下性命。从此，摩押人臣服于大卫，向他进贡。 3 利合的儿子琐巴王哈大底谢出来要恢复他在幼发拉底河一带的势力，大卫打败了他， 4 俘获一千七百名骑兵和两万名步兵，砍断拉战车的马匹的蹄筋，只留下够拉一百辆战车的马匹。 5 大马士革的亚兰人前来支援琐巴王哈大底谢，大卫杀了他们两万二千人， 6 还派军驻守亚兰国的大马士革，亚兰人臣服大卫，向他进贡。耶和华使大卫无往而不胜。 7 大卫夺走哈大底谢侍从的金盾牌，带回耶路撒冷， 8 又从哈大底谢统治的比他和比罗他两座城中夺走大量的铜。 9 哈马王陀以听说大卫打败哈大底谢全军， 10 就派儿子约兰带着许多金银铜器去朝见大卫王，向他请安，祝贺他打败了哈大底谢。因为陀以常常和哈大底谢交战。 11 大卫王把这些器皿和他征服亚兰人、摩押人、亚扪人、非利士人、亚玛力人和利合的儿子琐巴王哈大底谢时所得的金银都分别出来，奉献给耶和华。 13 大卫在盐谷杀了一万八千亚兰人，声威大振。 14 他又在以东全境设驻军，以东人都臣服于他。耶和华使他无往而不胜。 15 大卫统治全以色列，他秉公行义治理百姓。 16 那时，洗鲁雅的儿子约押做元帅，亚希律的儿子约沙法做史官， 17 亚希突的儿子撒督和亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒做祭司长，西莱雅做书记， 18 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统管基利提人和比利提人。大卫的众子都做首领。
