ダビデの勝利

1その後、ダビデはペリシテ人を制圧し、ガテと周辺の町々を占領しました。 2次いでモアブを制圧し、モアブは毎年、ダビデに多額の貢ぎ物を納めるようになりました。 3さらに、ツォバの王ハダデエゼルがユーフラテス川流域まで領土を広げようとした時、ダビデは、ハマテまで出て彼の野心を打ち砕きました。 4戦車千台を奪い、騎兵七千、歩兵二万を捕虜にしたのです。戦車は百台だけをイスラエル軍のために残し、残りは全部、使えないように解体しました。

5ダビデはまた、ダマスコからハダデエゼル王の援軍として参戦したシリヤ軍二万二千人を打ち、 6シリヤ(アラム)の首都ダマスコに守備隊を置きました。シリヤも毎年、多額の貢ぎ物を納めるようになりました。こうして主は、ダビデの行く先々で彼に勝利を与えられたのです。 7ダビデは、ハダデエゼル王の家来たちが持っていた金の盾をエルサレムに持ち帰りました。 8同時に、ハダデエゼルの町ティブハテとクンから大量の青銅を奪いました。のちにソロモンはこの青銅を溶かして、神殿用の大洗盤や柱、祭壇でいけにえをささげるための種々の道具を作りました。

9ハマテの王トウは、ダビデがハダデエゼルの軍勢を打ち破ったことを知ると、 10王子ハドラムを使者としてダビデのもとに送り、戦勝を祝いました。同時に、同盟を結ぶしるしに、金、銀、青銅など多くの贈り物をしました。ハダデエゼルとトウとはこれまで仲が悪く、何度も戦っていたからです。 11ダビデはこれらの贈り物を、エドム、モアブ、アモン、ペリシテ、アマレクの国々から奪った金銀とともに主にささげました。

12また、ツェルヤの子アブシャイは、塩の谷でエドム人一万八千人を打ちました。 13そして、エドムに守備隊を置き、毎年、多額の貢ぎ物をダビデに納めさせるようにしました。このように主は、ダビデの行く先々で彼に勝利を与えました。 14ダビデはイスラエル全土を支配し、正しく民を治めました。

15ツェルヤの子ヨアブは軍の総司令官、アヒルデの子ヨシャパテは史官、 16アヒトブの子ツァドクと、エブヤタルの子アヒメレクは祭司の長、シャウシャは王の秘書官、 17エホヤダの子ベナヤはケレテ人とペレテ人からなる王の護衛隊の隊長、ダビデの子たちは王の側近を務めました。

David’s Victories

1In the course of time, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Gath and its surrounding villages from the control of the Philistines.

2David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to him and brought him tribute.

3Moreover, David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, in the vicinity of Hamath, when he went to set up his monument at18:3 Or to restore his control over the Euphrates River. 4David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand charioteers and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung all but a hundred of the chariot horses.

5When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand of them. 6He put garrisons in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to him and brought him tribute. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.

7David took the gold shields carried by the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8From Tebah18:8 Hebrew Tibhath, a variant of Tebah and Kun, towns that belonged to Hadadezer, David took a great quantity of bronze, which Solomon used to make the bronze Sea, the pillars and various bronze articles.

9When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold, of silver and of bronze.

11King David dedicated these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold he had taken from all these nations: Edom and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek.

12Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 13He put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.
