1 Chronicles 18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And after this it came to be that Dawiḏ smote the Philistines, and humbled them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

2. And he smote the Mo’aḇites, and the Mo’aḇites became Dawiḏ’s servants, and brought presents.

3. And Dawiḏ smote Haḏaḏezer sovereign of Tsoḇah as far as Ḥamath, as he went to establish his power by the River Euphrates.

4. And Dawiḏ took from him one thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And Dawiḏ also hamstrung all the chariot horses, but left of them for one hundred chariots.

5. And when Aram of Darmeseq came to help Haḏaḏezer sovereign of Tsoḇah, Dawiḏ smote twenty-two thousand of Aram,

6. and Dawiḏ stationed men in Aram of Darmeseq, and the Arameans became Dawiḏ’s servants, and brought presents. And יהוה saved Dawiḏ wherever he went.

7. And Dawiḏ took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Haḏaḏezer, and brought them to Yerushalayim.

8. And from Tiḇḥath and from Kun, cities of Haḏaḏezer, Dawiḏ brought a large amount of bronze, with which Shelomoh made the bronze Sea, and the columns, and the vessels of bronze.

9. And when To‛u sovereign of Ḥamath heard that Dawiḏ had smitten all the army of Haḏaḏezer sovereign of Tsoḇah,

10. he sent Haḏoram his son to Sovereign Dawiḏ, to ask peace of him and bless him, because he had fought against Haḏaḏezer and smote him – because Haḏaḏezer had been fighting against To‛u – with all kinds of objects of gold, and silver, and bronze.

11. Sovereign Dawiḏ also set these apart to יהוה, along with the silver and gold that he had brought from all these nations, from Eḏom, and from Mo’aḇ, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalĕq.

12. And Aḇishai son of Tseruyah smote eighteen thousand Eḏomites in the Valley of Salt,

13. and he put watch-posts in Eḏom, and all the Eḏomites became Dawiḏ’s servants. And יהוה saved Dawiḏ wherever he went.

14. So Dawiḏ reigned over all Yisra’ĕl, and he was doing right-ruling and righteousness to all his people.

15. And Yo’aḇ son of Tseruyah was over the army, and Yehoshaphat son of Aḥiluḏ was recorder,

16. and Tsaḏoq son of Aḥituḇ and Aḇimeleḵ son of Eḇyathar were the priests, and Shawsha was the scribe,

17. and Benayahu son of Yehoyaḏa was over the Kerĕthites and the Pelĕthites. And the sons of Dawiḏ were chiefs at the sovereign’s side.
