2_Samuel
2Sam.8
[1] And after this it came to pass, that David smote the
Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah 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.
