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.
02 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.
03 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob,
king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border
at the river Euphrates.
04 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.
05 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to
succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of
the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
06 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.
07 And David took the shields of gold that were
on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to
Jerusalem.
08 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of
Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
09 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.
