Now after this{H310} it came to pass, that David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the Philistines{H6430}, and subdued{H3665}{(H8686)} them, and took{H3947}{(H8799)} Gath{H1661} and her towns{H1323} out of the hand{H3027} of the Philistines{H6430}.

And he smote{H5221}{(H8686)} Moab{H4124}; and the Moabites{H4124} became David's{H1732} servants{H5650}, and brought{H5375}{(H8802)} gifts{H4503}.

And David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} Hadarezer{H1928} king{H4428} of Zobah{H6678} unto Hamath{H2574}, as he went{H3212}{(H8800)} to stablish{H5324}{(H8687)} his dominion{H3027} by the river{H5104} Euphrates{H6578}.

And David{H1732} took{H3920}{(H8799)} from him a thousand{H505} chariots{H7393}, and seven{H7651} thousand{H505} horsemen{H6571}, and twenty{H6242} thousand{H505} footmen{H376}{H7273}: David{H1732} also houghed{H6131}{(H8762)} all the chariot{H7393} horses, but reserved{H3498}{(H8686)} of them an hundred{H3967} chariots{H7393}.

And when the Syrians{H758} of Damascus{H1834} came{H935}{(H8799)} to help{H5826}{(H8800)} Hadarezer{H1928} king{H4428} of Zobah{H6678}, David{H1732} slew{H5221}{(H8686)} of the Syrians{H758} two{H8147} and twenty{H6242} thousand{H505} men{H376}.

Then David{H1732} put{H7760}{(H8799)} garrisons in Syriadamascus{H758}{H1834}; and the Syrians{H758} became David's{H1732} servants{H5650}, and brought{H5375}{(H8802)} gifts{H4503}. Thus the LORD{H3068} preserved{H3467}{(H8686)} David{H1732} whithersoever he went{H1980}{(H8804)}.

And David{H1732} took{H3947}{(H8799)} the shields{H7982} of gold{H2091} that were on the servants{H5650} of Hadarezer{H1928}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} them to Jerusalem{H3389}.

Likewise from Tibhath{H2880}, and from Chun{H3560}, cities{H5892} of Hadarezer{H1928}, brought{H3947}{(H8804)} David{H1732} very{H3966} much{H7227} brass{H5178}, wherewith Solomon{H8010} made{H6213}{(H8804)} the brasen{H5178} sea{H3220}, and the pillars{H5982}, and the vessels{H3627} of brass{H5178}.

Now when Tou{H8583} king{H4428} of Hamath{H2574} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} how David{H1732} had smitten{H5221}{(H8689)} all the host{H2428} of Hadarezer{H1928} king{H4428} of Zobah{H6678};

He sent{H7971}{(H8799)} Hadoram{H1913} his son{H1121} to king{H4428} David{H1732}, to enquire{H7592}{(H8800)} of his welfare{H7965}, and to congratulate{H1288}{(H8763)} him, because he had fought{H3898}{(H8738)} against Hadarezer{H1928}, and smitten{H5221}{(H8686)} him;(for Hadarezer{H1928} had war{H376}{H4421} with Tou{H8583};) and with him all manner of vessels{H3627} of gold{H2091} and silver{H3701} and brass{H5178}.

Them also king{H4428} David{H1732} dedicated{H6942}{(H8689)} unto the LORD{H3068}, with the silver{H3701} and the gold{H2091} that he brought{H5375}{(H8804)} from all these nations{H1471}; from Edom{H123}, and from Moab{H4124}, and from the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and from the Philistines{H6430}, and from Amalek{H6002}.

Moreover Abishai{H52} the son{H1121} of Zeruiah{H6870} slew{H5221}{(H8689)} of the Edomites{H123} in the valley{H1516} of salt{H4417} eighteen{H8083}{H6240} thousand{H505}.

And he put{H7760}{(H8799)} garrisons{H5333} in Edom{H123}; and all the Edomites{H123} became David's{H1732} servants{H5650}. Thus the LORD{H3068} preserved{H3467}{(H8686)} David{H1732} whithersoever he went{H1980}{(H8804)}.

So David{H1732} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} over all Israel{H3478}, and executed{H6213}{(H8802)} judgment{H4941} and justice{H6666} among all his people{H5971}.

And Joab{H3097} the son{H1121} of Zeruiah{H6870} was over the host{H6635}; and Jehoshaphat{H3092} the son{H1121} of Ahilud{H286}, recorder{H2142}{(H8688)}.

And Zadok{H6659} the son{H1121} of Ahitub{H285}, and Abimelech{H40} the son{H1121} of Abiathar{H54}, were the priests{H3548}; and Shavsha{H7798} was scribe{H5608}{(H8802)};

And Benaiah{H1141} the son{H1121} of Jehoiada{H3077} was over the Cherethites{H3774} and the Pelethites{H6432}; and the sons{H1121} of David{H1732} were chief{H7223} about{H3027} the king{H4428}.
