1. And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,

2. percuteretque Moab et fierent Moabitæ servi David offerentes ei munera

2. And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David's servants, and brought him gifts.

3. eo tempore percussit David etiam Adadezer regem Suba regionis Emath quando perrexit ut dilataret imperium suum usque ad flumen Eufraten

3. At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates.

4. And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.

5. And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.

6. et posuit milites in Damasco ut Syria quoque serviret sibi et offerret munera adiuvitque eum Dominus in cunctis ad quæ perrexerat

6. And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.

7. tulit quoque David faretras aureas quas habuerant servi Adadezer et adtulit eas in Hierusalem

7. And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

8. necnon de Thebath et Chun urbibus Adadezer æris plurimum de quo fecit Salomon mare æneum et columnas et vasa ænea

8. Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9. quod cum audisset Thou rex Emath percussisse videlicet David omnem exercitum Adadezer regis Suba

9. Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,

10. misit Aduram filium suum ad regem David ut postularet ab eo pacem et congratularetur ei eo quod expugnasset et percussisset Adadezer adversarius quippe Thou erat Adadezer

10. He sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.

11. sed et omnia vasa aurea et argentea et ænea consecravit rex David Domino cum argento et auro quod tulerat ex universis gentibus tam de Idumea et Moab et filiis Ammon quam de Philisthim et Amalech

11. And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
