1 Now after this310 it came to pass, that David1732 smote5221 the Philistines6430, and subdued3665 them, and took3947 Gath1661 and her towns1323 out of the hand3027 of the Philistines6430. 2 And he smote5221 Moab4124; and the Moabites4124 became David's1732 servants5650, and brought5375 gifts4503. 3 And David1732 smote5221 Hadarezer1928 king4428 of Zobah6678 unto Hamath2574, as he went3212 to stablish5324 his dominion3027 by the river5104 Euphrates6578.¹ 4 And David1732 took3920 from him a thousand505 chariots7393, and seven7651 thousand505 horsemen6571, and twenty6242 thousand505 footmen376 7273: David1732 also houghed6131 all the chariot7393 horses, but reserved3498 of them an hundred3967 chariots7393.² 5 And when the Syrians758 of Damascus1834 came935 to help5826 Hadarezer1928 king4428 of Zobah6678, David1732 slew5221 of the Syrians758 two8147 and twenty6242 thousand505 men376.³ 6 Then David1732 put7760 garrisons in Syriadamascus758 1834; and the Syrians758 became David's1732 servants5650, and brought5375 gifts4503. Thus the LORD3068 preserved3467 David1732 whithersoever he went1980. 7 And David1732 took3947 the shields7982 of gold2091 that were on the servants5650 of Hadarezer1928, and brought935 them to Jerusalem3389. 8 Likewise from Tibhath2880, and from Chun3560, cities5892 of Hadarezer1928, brought3947 David1732 very3966 much7227 brass5178, wherewith Solomon8010 made6213 the brasen5178 sea3220, and the pillars5982, and the vessels3627 of brass5178.⁴

9 Now when Tou8583 king4428 of Hamath2574 heard8085 how David1732 had smitten5221 all the host2428 of Hadarezer1928 king4428 of Zobah6678;⁵ 10 He sent7971 Hadoram1913 his son1121 to king4428 David1732, to enquire7592 of his welfare7965, and to congratulate1288 him, because he had fought3898 against Hadarezer1928, and smitten5221 him; (for Hadarezer1928 had war376 4421 with Tou8583;) and with him all manner of vessels3627 of gold2091 and silver3701 and brass5178.⁶⁷⁸⁹ 11 Them also king4428 David1732 dedicated6942 unto the LORD3068, with the silver3701 and the gold2091 that he brought5375 from all these nations1471; from Edom123, and from Moab4124, and from the children1121 of Ammon5983, and from the Philistines6430, and from Amalek6002. 12 Moreover Abishai52 the son1121 of Zeruiah6870 slew5221 of the Edomites123 in the valley1516 of salt4417 eighteen8083 6240 thousand505.¹⁰ 13 And he put7760 garrisons5333 in Edom123; and all the Edomites123 became David's1732 servants5650. Thus the LORD3068 preserved3467 David1732 whithersoever he went1980. 14 So David1732 reigned4427 over all Israel3478, and executed6213 judgment4941 and justice6666 among all his people5971. 15 And Joab3097 the son1121 of Zeruiah6870 was over the host6635; and Jehoshaphat3092 the son1121 of Ahilud286, recorder2142.¹¹ 16 And Zadok6659 the son1121 of Ahitub285, and Abimelech40 the son1121 of Abiathar54, were the priests3548; and Shavsha7798 was scribe5608;¹²¹³ 17 And Benaiah1141 the son1121 of Jehoiada3077 was over the Cherethites3774 and the Pelethites6432; and the sons1121 of David1732 were chief7223 about3027 the king4428.¹⁴
