1 Chronicles 18

1And it came to pass afterwards, that David struck the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐτροπώσατο αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν Γὲθ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων.

2And he struck Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and tributaries.Καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν Μωὰβ, καὶ ἦσαν Μωὰβ παῖδες τῷ Δαυὶδ φέροντες δῶρα·

3And David struck Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power toward the river Euphrates.Καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὸν Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ Ἠμάθ, πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην·

4And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but there were reserved of them one hundred chariots.Καὶ προκατελάβετο Δαυὶδ αὐτῶν χίλια ἅρματα καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἵππων καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν· καὶ παρέλυσεν Δαυεὶδ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα, καὶ ὑπελίπετο ἐξ αὐτῶν ἑκατὸν ἅρματα.

5And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David struck of the Syrian army twenty and two thousand men.Καὶ ἦλθεν Σύρος ἐκ Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλεῖ Σουβά, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.

6And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants to David: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.Καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ φρουρὰν ἐν Συρίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Δαμασκὸν, καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Δαυεὶδ εἰς παῖδας φέροντας δῶρα· καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος Δαυίδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο.

7And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem.Καὶ ἔλαβεν Δαυεὶδ τοὺς κλοιοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς οἳ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας Ἁδραάζαρ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.

8And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels.Καὶ ἐκ τῆς Μαγαβὲθ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν πόλεων τῶν Ἀδρααζὰρ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ χαλκὸν πολὺν σφόδρα· ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν, καὶ τοὺς στύλους καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ χαλκᾶ.

9And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had struck the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba.καὶ ἤκουσε Θωὰ βασιλεὺς Ἠμὰθ, ὅτι ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὴν πᾶσαν δύναμιν Ἀδρααζὰρ βασιλέως Σουβά·

10And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Adraazar, and struck him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Ἀδουρὰμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ του εὐλογῆσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπολέμησε τὸν Ἁδρααζαρ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀνὴρ πολέμιος Θῶα ἦν τῷ Ἁδραάζαρ· καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ, καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ,

11And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations; from Idumaea, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec.Καὶ τὰ χαλκᾶ, καὶ ταῦτα ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τῷ κυρίῳ, μετὰ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου οὗ ἔλαβεν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἐξ Ἰδουμαίας, καὶ Μωὰβ, καὶ ἐξ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐξ Ἀμαλήκ.

12And Abesa son of Saruia struck the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand.Καὶ Ἀβεσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐν κοιλάδι τῶν ἁλῶν, ὀκτὼκαὶδεκα χιλιάδας.

13And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumaeans became David's servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.Καὶ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι φρουρὰς, καὶ ἦσαν πάντες οἱ Ἰδουμαῖοι παῖδες Δαυίδ· καὶ ἔσωζε Κύριος τὸν Δανὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύετο.

14So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice to all his people.Καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἦν ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην τῷ παντὶ λαῷ αὐτοῦ.

15And Joab the son of Saruia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achilud was recorder.Καὶ Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ἐπὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς, καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀχιλοὺδ ὁ ὑπομνηματογράφος,

16And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Susa was the scribe;καὶ Σαδὼκ υἱὸς Ἀχειτὼβ καὶ Αχειμέλεχ υἱὸς Ἀβιάθαρ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ Σουσὰ γραμματεύς,

17and Banaeas the son of Jodae was over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ Χερεθὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ Φελεθί. καὶ υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ οἱ πρῶτοι διάδοχοι τοῦ βασιλέως.
