²καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν Μωάβ, καὶ ἦσαν Μωὰβ παῖδες τῷ Δαυὶδ φέροντες δῶρα.

³καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὸν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ ῾Ημάθ, πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην.

⁴καὶ προκατελάβετο Δαυὶδ αὐτῶν χίλια ἅρματα καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἵππων καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν· καὶ παρέλυσε Δαυὶδ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα καὶ ὑπελίπετο ἐξ αὐτῶν ἑκατὸν ἅρματα.

⁵καὶ ἦλθε Σύρος ἐκ Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι ᾿Αδρααζὰρ βασιλεῖ Σουβά, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.

⁶καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ φρουρὰν ἐν Συρίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Δαμασκόν, καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς παῖδας φέροντας δῶρα, καὶ ἔσωζε Κύριος Δαυὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπορεύετο.

⁷καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τοὺς κλοιοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς, οἳ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας ᾿Αδρααζάρ, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

⁸καὶ ἐκ τῆς μεταβηχὰς καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν πόλεων τῶν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ χαλκὸν πολὺν σφόδρα· ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν καὶ τοὺς στύλους καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ χαλκᾶ.

⁹καὶ ἤκουσε Θωὰ βασιλεὺς ῾Ημὰθ ὅτι ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὴν πᾶσαν δύναμιν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ βασιλέως Σουβά,

¹⁰καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν ᾿Αδουρὰμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπολέμησε τὸν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀνὴρ πολέμιος Θωὰ ἦν τῷ ᾿Αδρααζάρ.

¹¹καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ τὰ χαλκᾶ, καὶ ταῦτα ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ μετὰ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου, οὗ ἔλαβεν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἐξ ᾿Ιδουμαίας καὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ἐξ υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐξ ᾿Αμαλήκ.

¹And it came to pass afterwards, that David smote the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.

³And David smote Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power toward the river Euphrates.

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 a hundred chariots.

⁵And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David smote of the Syrian [army] twenty and two thousand men.

⁷And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem.

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.

⁹And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had smitten the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba.

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 smitten him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar.

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.

¹²And Abesa son of Saruia smote the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand.
