2 Samuel 8
8
1And after this it came to pass, that David [beloved] struck the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and subdued them: and David [beloved] took Meteg-Amah [mother city] out of the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
2And he struck Mo’av [Seed of my Father], 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 Mo’avi [of his father] became David’s [beloved]’s servants, [and] brought gifts.
3David [beloved] struck also Hadad’ezer [mighty’meaning disputed], the son of Rechov [Broad Place], king of Tzovah [station], as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates (to break forth, to gush).
4And David [beloved] took from him a thousand [chariots], and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David [beloved] hamstringed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] an hundred chariots.
5And when the Aram [Syrians] of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] came to aid Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed] king of Tzovah [station], David [beloved] killed of the Aram [Syrians] two and twenty thousand men.
6Then David [beloved] put garrisons in Aram (Syria) [exalted] f Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver]: and the Aram [Syrians] became servants to David [beloved], [and] brought gifts. And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) preserved David [beloved] to wherever he went.
7And David [beloved] took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed], and brought them to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
8And from Betach [security], and from Berotai [cypress grove], cities of Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed], king David [beloved] took exceeding much brass.
9When To’i [wander] king of Hamat [Fortress] heard that David [beloved] had smitten all the host of Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed],
10Then To’i [wander] sent Yoram [Yehovah is exalted] his son unto king David [beloved], to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed], and smitten him: for Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed] had wars with To’i [wander]. And [Yoram [Yehovah is exalted]] brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
11Which also king David [beloved] did dedicate unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
12Of Aram (Syria) [exalted], and of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and of ‘Amalek [Dweller in a Valley], and of the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed], son of Rechov [Broad Place], king of Tzovah [station].
13And David [beloved] got [him] a name when he returned from attacking of the Aram [Syrians] in the valley of salt, [being] eighteen thousand [men].
14And he put garrisons in Edom [Red]; throughout all Edom [Red] put he garrisons, and all they of Edom [Red] became David’s [beloved]’s servants. And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) preserved David [beloved] to wherever he went.
15And David [beloved] reigned over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and David [beloved] executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
16And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam] [was] over the host; and Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] the son of Achilud [child’s brother] [was] recorder;
17And Tzadok [righteous] the son of Achituv [my brother is good], and Achi-Melekh [my brother is king] the son of Avyatar [my father is great], [were] the priests; and S’rayah [Yehovah is ruler] [was] the scribe;
18And B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the son of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] [was over] both the K’reti [executioners] and the P’leti [couriers]; and David’s [beloved]’s sons were chief rulers.
