David put soldiers to live among the Syrian people in Damascus. And the people there became his servants and they brought taxes to him. The Lord caused David to win all his fights in every place that he went to. He put soldiers’ camps in every part of the country of Edom. David ruled everyone who lived in Edom. The Lord kept David safe in every place that he went to. David ruled over all Israel. He did everything that was right and good for his people. 2 Samuel 8:6, 14-15
於是大衛在大馬士革的亞蘭地設立防營，亞蘭人就歸服他，給他進貢。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。 ……又在以東全地設立防營，以東人就都歸服大衛。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。 大衛作以色列眾人的王，又向眾民秉公行義。 撒母耳記下 8:6, 14-15
