And after this it came to pass, that David
smote
the Philistines
, and subdued
them: and David
took
Methegammah
out of the hand
of the Philistines
.
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
.
David smote
also Hadadezer
, the son
of Rehob
, king
of Zobah
, as he went
to recover
his border
at the river
Euphrates
.
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
.
And when the Syrians of Damascus
came
to succour
Hadadezer
king
of Zobah
, David
slew
of the Syrians
two
and twenty
thousand
men
.
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
.
And David took
the shields
of gold
that were on the servants
of Hadadezer
, and brought
them to Jerusalem
.
And from Betah, and from Berothai
, cities
of Hadadezer
, king
David
took
exceeding
much
brass
.
When Toi king
of Hamath
heard
that David
had smitten
all the host
of Hadadezer
,
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
:
Which also king David
did dedicate
unto the LORD
, with the silver
and gold
that he had dedicated
of all nations
which he subdued
;
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
.
And David gat
him a name
when he returned
from smiting
of the Syrians
in the valley
of salt
, being eighteen
thousand
men .
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
.
And David reigned
over all Israel
; and David
executed
judgment
and justice
unto all his people
.
And Joab the son
of Zeruiah
was over the host
; and Jehoshaphat
the son
of Ahilud
was recorder
;
And Zadok the son
of Ahitub
, and Ahimelech
the son
of Abiathar
, were the priests
; and Seraiah
was the scribe
;
And Benaiah the son
of Jehoiada
was over both the Cherethites
and the Pelethites
; and David's
sons
were chief rulers
.
