¹phir aisa vaqt aaya ki daaood nay filistiyon ko shikast day kar unhen apnay taabay kar liya aur jaat shaher par gird-o-navaah kee aabaadiyon samet qabza kar liya.

²us nay moaabiyon par bhee fatah paaee, aur vah us kay taabay ho kar usay kharaaj denay lagay.

³daaood nay shimaalee shaam kay shaher zobaah kay baadshaah hadad’azar ko bhee hamaat kay qareeb hara diya jab hadad’azar darya-ay-furaat par qaaboo paanay kay liyay nikal aaya tha. ⁴daaood nay 1,000 rathon, 7,000 ghudasavaaron aur 20,000 piyaada sipaahiyon ko giriftaar kar liya. rathon kay 100 ghodon ko us nay apnay liyay mahfooz rakha jabki baaqiyon kee us nay konchen kaat deen taaki vah aainda jang kay liyay istemaal na ho saken.

⁵jab damishq kay araamee baashinday zobaah kay baadshaah hadad’azar kee madad karnay aaay to daaood nay un kay 22,000 afraad halaak kar diay. ⁶phir us nay damishq kay ilaaqay men apnee faujee chaukiyaan qaaim keen. araamee us kay taabay ho gaay aur usay kharaaj detay rahay. jahaan bhee daaood gaya vahaan rabb nay usay kaamyaabee bakhshee. ⁷sonay kee jo dhaalen hadad’azar kay afsaron kay paas theen unhen daaood yarooshalam lay gaya. ⁸hadad’azar kay do shaheron koon aur tibkhat say us nay kasrat ka peetal chheen liya. baad men sulemaan nay yah peetal rabb kay ghar men ‘samundar’ naamee peetal ka hauz, satoon aur peetal ka mukhtalif saamaan banaanay kay liyay istemaal kiya.

⁹jab hamaat kay baadshaah tooee ko ittila milee ki daaood nay zobaah kay baadshaah hadad’azar kee pooree fauj par fatah paaee hai ¹⁰to us nay apnay betay hadooraam ko daaood kay paas bheja taaki usay salaam kahay. hadooraam nay daaood ko hadad’azar par fatah kay liyay mubaarakabaad dee, kyoonki hadad’azar tooee ka dushman tha, aur un kay darmiyaan jang rahee thee. hadooraam nay daaood ko sonay, chaandee aur peetal kay bahut say tuhfay bhee pesh kiay. ¹¹daaood nay yah cheezen rabb kay liyay makhsoos kar deen. jahaan bhee vah doosree qaumon par ghaalib aaya vahaan kee sona-chaandee us nay rabb kay liyay makhsoos kar diya. yoon adom, moaab, ammon, philistiya aur amaaleeq kee sona-chaandee rabb ko pesh kee gaee.

¹²abeeshai bin zarooyaah nay namak kee vaadee men adomiyon par fatah pa kar 18,000 afraad halaak kar diay. ¹³us nay adom kay pooray mulk men apnee faujee chaukiyaan qaaim keen, aur tamaam adomee daaood kay taabay ho gaay. daaood jahaan bhee jaata rabb us kee madad karkay usay fatah bakhshta.
