1 And after310 this it came to pass, that David1732 smote5221 the Philistines6430, and subdued3665 them: and David1732 took3947 Methegammah4965 out of the hand3027 of the Philistines6430.¹ 2 And he smote5221 Moab4124, and measured4058 them with a line2256, casting them down7901 to the ground776; even with two8147 lines2256 measured4058 he to put to death4191, and with one full4393 line2256 to keep alive2421. And so the Moabites4124 became David's1732 servants5650, and brought5375 gifts4503. 3 David1732 smote5221 also Hadadezer1909, the son1121 of Rehob7340, king4428 of Zobah6678, as he went3212 to recover7725 his border3027 at the river5104 Euphrates6578.² 4 And David1732 took3920 from him a thousand505 chariots, and seven7651 hundred3967 horsemen6571, and twenty6242 thousand505 footmen376 7273: and David1732 houghed6131 all the chariot7393 horses, but reserved3498 of them for an hundred3967 chariots7393.³ 5 And when the Syrians758 of Damascus1834 came935 to succour5826 Hadadezer1909 king4428 of Zobah6678, David1732 slew5221 of the Syrians758 two8147 and twenty6242 thousand505 men376. 6 Then David1732 put7760 garrisons5333 in Syria758 of Damascus1834: and the Syrians758 became servants5650 to David1732, and brought5375 gifts4503. And the LORD3068 preserved3467 David1732 whithersoever he went1980. 7 And David1732 took3947 the shields7982 of gold2091 that were on the servants5650 of Hadadezer1909, and brought935 them to Jerusalem3389. 8 And from Betah984, and from Berothai1268, cities5892 of Hadadezer1909, king4428 David1732 took3947 exceeding3966 much7235 brass5178.

9 When Toi8583 king4428 of Hamath2574 heard8085 that David1732 had smitten5221 all the host2428 of Hadadezer1909, 10 Then Toi8583 sent7971 Joram3141 his son1121 unto king4428 David1732, to salute7592 7965 him, and to bless1288 him, because he had fought3898 against Hadadezer1909, and smitten5221 him: for Hadadezer1909 had wars376 4421 with Toi8583. And Joram brought with him3027 vessels3627 of silver3701, and vessels3627 of gold2091, and vessels3627 of brass5178:⁴⁵⁶ 11 Which also king4428 David1732 did dedicate6942 unto the LORD3068, with the silver3701 and gold2091 that he had dedicated6942 of all nations1471 which he subdued3533; 12 Of Syria758, and of Moab4124, and of the children1121 of Ammon5983, and of the Philistines6430, and of Amalek6002, and of the spoil7998 of Hadadezer1909, son1121 of Rehob7340, king4428 of Zobah6678. 13 And David1732 gat6213 him a name8034 when he returned7725 from smiting5221 of the Syrians758 in the valley1516 of salt4417, being eighteen8083 6240 thousand505 men.⁷ 14 And he put7760 garrisons5333 in Edom123; throughout all Edom123 put7760 he garrisons5333, and all they of Edom123 became David's1732 servants5650. And the LORD3068 preserved3467 David1732 whithersoever he went1980.

15 And David1732 reigned4427 over all Israel3478; and David1732 executed6213 judgment4941 and justice6666 unto all his people5971. 16 And Joab3097 the son1121 of Zeruiah6870 was over the host6635; and Jehoshaphat3092 the son1121 of Ahilud286 was recorder2142;⁸ 17 And Zadok6659 the son1121 of Ahitub285, and Ahimelech288 the son1121 of Abiathar54, were the priests3548; and Seraiah8304 was the scribe5608;⁹ 18 And Benaiah1141 the son1121 of Jehoiada3077 was over both the Cherethites3774 and the Pelethites6432; and David's1732 sons1121 were chief rulers3548.¹⁰
