1 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. 2 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. 3 David smote also Hadadez­er, the son of Re­hob, king of Zobah, as he went to re­cov­er his bor­der at the riv­er Eu­phrates. 4 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. 5 And when the Syr­i­ans of Dam­as­cus came to suc­cour Hadadez­er king of Zobah, David slew of the Syr­i­ans two and twen­ty thou­sand men. 6 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. 7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the ser­vants of Hadadez­er, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from Be­tah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadez­er, king David took ex­ceed­ing much brass. 9 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.
