And after{H310} this it came to pass, that David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the Philistines{H6430}, and subdued{H3665}{(H8686)} them: and David{H1732} took{H3947}{(H8799)} Methegammah{H4965} out of the hand{H3027} of the Philistines{H6430}.

And he smote{H5221}{(H8686)} Moab{H4124}, and measured{H4058}{(H8762)} them with a line{H2256}, casting them down{H7901}{(H8687)} to the ground{H776}; even with two{H8147} lines{H2256} measured{H4058}{(H8762)} he to put to death{H4191}{(H8687)}, and with one full{H4393} line{H2256} to keep alive{H2421}{(H8687)}. And so the Moabites{H4124} became David's{H1732} servants{H5650}, and brought{H5375}{(H8802)} gifts{H4503}.

David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} also Hadadezer{H1909}, the son{H1121} of Rehob{H7340}, king{H4428} of Zobah{H6678}, as he went{H3212}{(H8800)} to recover{H7725}{(H8687)} his border{H3027} at the river{H5104} Euphrates{H6578}.

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

And when the Syrians{H758} of Damascus{H1834} came{H935}{(H8799)} to succour{H5826}{(H8800)} Hadadezer{H1909} 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{H5333} in Syria{H758} of Damascus{H1834}: and the Syrians{H758} became servants{H5650} to David{H1732}, and brought{H5375}{(H8802)} gifts{H4503}. And 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 Hadadezer{H1909}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} them to Jerusalem{H3389}.

And from Betah{H984}, and from Berothai{H1268}, cities{H5892} of Hadadezer{H1909}, king{H4428} David{H1732} took{H3947}{(H8804)} exceeding{H3966} much{H7235}{(H8687)} brass{H5178}.

When Toi{H8583} king{H4428} of Hamath{H2574} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} that David{H1732} had smitten{H5221}{(H8689)} all the host{H2428} of Hadadezer{H1909},

Then Toi{H8583} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} Joram{H3141} his son{H1121} unto king{H4428} David{H1732}, to salute{H7592}{(H8800)}{H7965} him, and to bless{H1288}{(H8763)} him, because he had fought{H3898}{(H8738)} against Hadadezer{H1909}, and smitten{H5221}{(H8686)} him: for Hadadezer{H1909} had wars{H376}{H4421} with Toi{H8583}. And Joram brought with him{H3027} vessels{H3627} of silver{H3701}, and vessels{H3627} of gold{H2091}, and vessels{H3627} of brass{H5178}:

Which also king{H4428} David{H1732} did dedicate{H6942}{(H8689)} unto the LORD{H3068}, with the silver{H3701} and gold{H2091} that he had dedicated{H6942}{(H8689)} of all nations{H1471} which he subdued{H3533}{(H8765)};

Of Syria{H758}, and of Moab{H4124}, and of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and of the Philistines{H6430}, and of Amalek{H6002}, and of the spoil{H7998} of Hadadezer{H1909}, son{H1121} of Rehob{H7340}, king{H4428} of Zobah{H6678}.

And David{H1732} gat{H6213}{(H8799)} him a name{H8034} when he returned{H7725}{(H8800)} from smiting{H5221}{(H8687)} of the Syrians{H758} in the valley{H1516} of salt{H4417}, being eighteen{H8083}{H6240} thousand{H505} men.

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

And David{H1732} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} over all Israel{H3478}; and David{H1732} executed{H6213}{(H8802)} judgment{H4941} and justice{H6666} unto 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} was recorder{H2142}{(H8688)};

And Zadok{H6659} the son{H1121} of Ahitub{H285}, and Ahimelech{H288} the son{H1121} of Abiathar{H54}, were the priests{H3548}; and Seraiah{H8304} was the scribe{H5608}{(H8802)};

And Benaiah{H1141} the son{H1121} of Jehoiada{H3077} was over both the Cherethites{H3774} and the Pelethites{H6432}; and David's{H1732} sons{H1121} were chief rulers{H3548}.
