[2] He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.
[3] David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, toward Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
[4] David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one hundred chariots.
[5] When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

[8] From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
[9] When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
[10] he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.

[16] Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was scribe;
[17] and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.

[1] Now after this H310 it came to pass, that David H1732 smote H5221 (8686) the Philistines H6430, and subdued H3665 (8686) them, and took H3947 (8799) Gath H1661 and her towns H1323 out of the hand H3027 of the Philistines H6430.
[2] And he smote H5221 (8686) Moab H4124; and the Moabites H4124 became David’s H1732 servants H5650, [and] brought H5375 (8802) gifts H4503.
[3] And David H1732 smote H5221 (8686) Hadarezer H1928 king H4428 of Zobah H6678 unto Hamath H2574, as he went H3212 (8800) to stablish H5324 (8687) his dominion H3027 by the river H5104 Euphrates H6578.
[4] And David H1732 took H3920 (8799) 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 (8762) all the chariot H7393 [horses], but reserved H3498 (8686) of them an hundred H3967 chariots H7393.
[5] And when the Syrians H758 of Damascus H1834 came H935 (8799) to help H5826 (8800) Hadarezer H1928 king H4428 of Zobah H6678, David H1732 slew H5221 (8686) of the Syrians H758 two H8147 and twenty H6242 thousand H505 men H376.
[6] Then David H1732 put H7760 (8799) [garrisons] in Syriadamascus H758 H1834; and the Syrians H758 became David’s H1732 servants H5650, [and] brought H5375 (8802) gifts H4503. Thus the LORD H3068 preserved H3467 (8686) David H1732 whithersoever he went H1980 (8804).
[7] And David H1732 took H3947 (8799) the shields H7982 of gold H2091 that were on the servants H5650 of Hadarezer H1928, and brought H935 (8686) them to Jerusalem H3389.
[8] Likewise from Tibhath H2880, and from Chun H3560, cities H5892 of Hadarezer H1928, brought H3947 (8804) David H1732 very H3966 much H7227 brass H5178, wherewith Solomon H8010 made H6213 (8804) the brasen H5178 sea H3220, and the pillars H5982, and the vessels H3627 of brass H5178.
[9] Now when Tou H8583 king H4428 of Hamath H2574 heard H8085 (8799) how David H1732 had smitten H5221 (8689) all the host H2428 of Hadarezer H1928 king H4428 of Zobah H6678;
[10] He sent H7971 (8799) Hadoram H1913 his son H1121 to king H4428 David H1732, to enquire H7592 (8800) of his welfare H7965, and to congratulate H1288 (8763) him, because he had fought H3898 (8738) against Hadarezer H1928, and smitten H5221 (8686) 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.
[11] Them also king H4428 David H1732 dedicated H6942 (8689) unto the LORD H3068, with the silver H3701 and the gold H2091 that he brought H5375 (8804) 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.
[12] Moreover Abishai H52 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 slew H5221 (8689) of the Edomites H123 in the valley H1516 of salt H4417 eighteen H8083 H6240 thousand H505.
[13] And he put H7760 (8799) garrisons H5333 in Edom H123; and all the Edomites H123 became David’s H1732 servants H5650. Thus the LORD H3068 preserved H3467 (8686) David H1732 whithersoever he went H1980 (8804).
[14] So David H1732 reigned H4427 (8799) over all Israel H3478, and executed H6213 (8802) judgment H4941 and justice H6666 among all his people H5971.
[15] 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 (8688).
[16] 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 (8802);
[17] 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.
