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.
02 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became
David's servants, and brought gifts.
03 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto
Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by
the river Euphrates.
04 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.
05 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help
Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the
Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
06 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and
the Syrians became David's servants, and brought
gifts. Thus the Lord preserved David
whithersoever he went.
07 And David took the shields of gold that were
on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to
Jerusalem.
08 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.
09 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.
