2 शमूएल 8
1 इसके बाद दाऊद ने पलिश्तियों को जीतकर अपने आधीन कर लिया, और दाऊद ने पलिश्तियों की राजधानी की प्रभुता उनके हाथ से छीन ली।
2 फिर उसने मोआबियों को भी जीता, और इन को भूमि पर लिटाकर डोरी से मापा; तब दो डोरी से लोगों को मापकर घात किया, और डोरी भर के लोगों को जीवित छोड़ दिया। तब मोआबी दाऊद के आधीन हो कर भेंट ले आने लगे।
3 फिर जब सोबा का राजा रहोब का पुत्र हददेजेर महानद के पास अपना राज्य फिर ज्यों का त्यों करने को जा रहा था, तब दाऊद ने उसको जीत लिया।
4 और दाऊद ने उस से एक हजार सात सौ सवार, और बीस हजार प्यादे छीन लिए; और सब रथ वाले घोड़ों के सुम की नस कटवाई, परन्तु एक सौ रथ वाले घोड़े बचा रखे।
5 और जब दमिश्क के अरामी सोबा के राजा हददेजेर की सहायता करने को आए, तब दाऊद ने आरामियों में से बाईस हज़ार पुरुष मारे।
6 तब दाऊद ने दमिश्क में अराम के सिपाहियों की चौकियां बैठाई; इस प्रकार अरामी दाऊद के आधीन हो कर भेंट ले आने लगे। और जहां जहां दाऊद जाता था वहां वहां यहोवा उसको जयवन्त करता था।
7 और हददेजेर के कर्मचारियों के पास सोने की जो ढालें थीं उन्हें दाऊद ले कर यरूशलेम को आया।
8 और बेतह और बरौतै नाम हददेजेर के नगरों से दाऊद राजा बहुत सा पीतल ले आया।
9 और जब हमात के राजा तोई ने सुना कि दाऊद ने हददेजेर की समस्त सेना को जीत लिया है,
10 तब तोई ने योराम नाम अपने पुत्र को दाऊद राजा के पास उसका कुशल क्षेम पूछने, और उसे इसलिये बधाई देने को भेजा, कि उसने हददेजेर से लड़ कर उसको जीत लिया था; क्योंकि हददेजेर तोई से लड़ा करता था। और योराम चांदी, सोने और पीतल के पात्र लिए हुए आया।
11 इन को दाऊद राजा ने यहोवा के लिये पवित्र करके रखा; और वैसा ही अपने जीती हुई सब जातियों के सोने चांदी से भी किया,
12 अर्थात अरामियों, मोआबियों, अम्मानियों, पलिश्तियों, और अमालेकियों के सोने चांदी को, और रहोब के पुत्र सोबा के राजा हददेजेर की लूट को भी रखा।
13 और जब दाऊद लोमवाली तराई में अठारह हजार अरामियों को मार के लौट आया, तब उसका बड़ा नाम हो गया।
14 फिर उसने एदोम में सिपाहियों की चौकियां बैठाई; पूरे एदोम में उसने सिपाहियों की चौकियां। बैठाई, और सब एदोमी दाऊद के आधीन हो गए। और दाऊद जहां जहां जाता था वहां वहां यहोवा उसको जयवन्त करता था।
15 ( दाऊद के कर्मचारियों की नामावली ) दाऊद तो समस्त इस्राएल पर राज्य करता था, और दाऊद अपनी समस्त प्रजा के साथ न्याय और धर्म के काम करता था।
16 और प्रधान सेनापति सरूयाह का पुत्र योआब था; इतिहास का लिखने वाला अहीलूद का पुत्र यहोशापात था;
17 प्रधान याजक अहीतूब का पुत्र सादोक और एब्यातर का पुत्र अहीमेलेक थे; मंत्री सरायाह था;
18 करेतियो और पकेतियों का प्रधान यहोयादा का पुत्र बनायाह था; और दाऊद के पुत्र भी मंत्री थे।
1 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
11 Which also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.
1 And when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 And Saul’s son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
4 And Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the Lord hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
