Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

And David took from them beforehand a thousand chariots and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David disabled all the chariots, and left of them a hundred chariots.
And David set a garrison in Syria, in the region of Damascus; and they became servants to David, bringing gifts. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
And from Metabechas and from the choice cities of Hadadezer David took very much bronze; from it Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the bronze vessels.
And he sent Iduram his son to King David to ask him about peace and to bless him because he had made war on Hadadezer and struck him — for Tou was a man at war with Hadadezer — and all kinds of vessels of silver and gold.
And these David dedicated to the Lord, along with the silver and the gold that he took from all the nations — from Idumea and Moab and from the sons of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.
