1
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.
2
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.
3
David
smote
also
Hadadezer,
the
son
of
Rehob,
king
of
Zobah,
as
he
went
to
recover
his
border
at
the
river
Euphrates.
4
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.
5
And
when
the
Syrians
of
Damascus
came
to
succour
Hadadezer
king
of
Zobah,
David
slew
of
the
Syrians
two
and
twenty
thousand
men.
6
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.
7
And
David
took
the
shields
of
gold
that
were
on
the
servants
of
Hadadezer,
and
brought
them
to
Jerusalem.
8
And
from
Betah,
and
from
Berothai,
cities
of
Hadadezer,
king
David
took
exceeding
much
brass.
9
When
Toi
king
of
Hamath
heard
that
David
had
smitten
all
the
host
of
Hadadezer,
10
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:
11
Which
also
king
David
did
dedicate
unto
the
LORD,
with
the
silver
and
gold
that
he
had
dedicated
of
all
nations
which
he
subdued;
12
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.
13
And
David
gat
[him]
a
name
when
he
returned
from
smiting
of
the
Syrians
in
the
valley
of
salt,
[being]
eighteen
thousand
[men].
14
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.
15
And
David
reigned
over
all
Israel;
and
David
executed
judgment
and
justice
unto
all
his
people.
16
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
[was]
over
the
host;
and
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Ahilud
[was]
recorder;
17
And
Zadok
the
son
of
Ahitub,
and
Ahimelech
the
son
of
Abiathar,
[were]
the
priests;
and
Seraiah
[was]
the
scribe;
18
And
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
[was
over]
both
the
Cherethites
and
the
Pelethites;
and
David’s
sons
were
chief
rulers.
