1 Now after this it came to
pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her
towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites
became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah
unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 And David took from him a thousand
chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also
houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to
help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand
men.
6 Then David put garrisons in
Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought
gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that
were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun,
cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the
brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath
heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David,
to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought
against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with
him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 Them also king David dedicated unto the
LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these
nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the
Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah
slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all
the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David
whithersoever he went.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and
executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was
over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and
Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was
over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief
about the king.
