1 ORA, dopo queste cose, Davide percosse i Filistei, e li abbassò; e prese a’ Filistei Gat, e le terre del suo territorio.

Some time later King David attacked the Philistines again and defeated them. He took out of their control the city of Gath and its surrounding villages.

He also defeated the Moabites, who became his subjects and paid taxes to him.
3 Davide, oltre a ciò, percosse Hadarezer, re di Soba, verso Hamat, mentre egli andava per istabilire il suo dominio sul fiume Eufrate.
3
Next, David attacked King Hadadezer of the Syrian state of Zobah, near the territory of Hamath, because Hadadezer was trying to gain control of the territory by the upper Euphrates River.
4 E Davide gli prese mille carri, e settemila cavalieri, e ventimila pedoni, e tagliò i garetti a’ cavalli di tutti i carri, salvo di cento ch’egli riserbò.

David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand cavalry troops, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He kept enough horses for a hundred chariots and crippled all the rest.
5 Or i Siri di Damasco erano venuti al soccorso di Hadarezer, re di Soba; e Davide percosse di que’ Siri ventiduemila uomini.

When the Syrians of Damascus sent an army to help King Hadadezer, David attacked it and killed twenty-two thousand men.
6 Poi Davide pose guernigioni nella Siria Damascena; ed i Siri divennero soggetti di Davide, pagando tributo. E il Signore salvava Davide dovunque egli andava.
6
Then he set up military camps in their territory, and they became his subjects and paid taxes to him. The Lord made David victorious everywhere.
7 E Davide prese gli scudi d’oro, che i servitori di Hadarezer portavano; e li portò in Gerusalemme.
7
David captured the gold shields carried by Hadadezer's officials and took them to Jerusalem.
8 Davide prese ancora una grandissima quantità di rame da Tibhat, e da Cun, città di Hadarezer; onde Salomone fece il mar di rame, e le colonne, e i vasellamenti di rame.
8
He also took a great quantity of bronze from Tibhath and Kun, cities ruled by Hadadezer. (Solomon later used this bronze to make the tank, the columns, and the bronze utensils for the Temple.)
9 Or Tou, re di Hamat, avendo inteso che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadarezer, re di Soba,
9
King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated Hadadezer's entire army.
10 mandò il suo figliuolo Hadoram al re Davide, per salutarlo, e per benedirlo di ciò che egli avea combattuto contro ad Hadarezer, e l’avea sconfitto; perciocchè Hadarezer avea fatta guerra aperta a Tou. Gli mandò ancora ogni sorte di vasellamenti d’oro, e d’argento, e di rame.
10
So he sent his son Joram to greet King David and congratulate him for his victory over Hadadezer, against whom Toi had fought many times. Joram brought David presents made of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Il re Davide consacrò ancora al Signore que’ vasellamenti, insieme con l’argento, e con l’oro, ch’egli avea portato da tutte le genti, da Edom, e da’ Moabiti, e dai figliuoli di Ammon, e da’ Filistei, e da Amalec.
11
King David dedicated them for use in worship, along with the silver and gold he took from the nations he conquered - Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, and Amalek.

Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, defeated the Edomites in Salt Valley and killed eighteen thousand of them.
13 E mise guernigioni in Idumea; e tutti gl’Idumei divennero soggetti di Davide. E il Signore salvava Davide dovunque egli andava.
13
He set up military camps throughout Edom, and the people there became King David's subjects. The Lord made David victorious everywhere.
