18:1 And it came to pass afterwards, that
David smote the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages
out of the hand of the Philistines.
18:2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, [and]
tributaries.
18:3 And David smote Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to
establish power toward the river Euphrates.
18:4 And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand
horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry: and David houghed all the chariot
[horses], but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots.
18:5 And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and
David smote of the Syrian [army] twenty and two thousand men.
18:6 And David put a garrison in Syria near Daascus; and they became

18:7 And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar,
and brought them to Jerusalem.
18:8 And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar
very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and
the brazen vessels.
18:9 And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had smitten the whole force of
Adraazar king of Suba.
18:10 And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to
congratulate him because he had fought against Adraazar, and smitten him;
for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar.
18:11 And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king
David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took
from all the nations; from Idumaea, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon,
and from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
18:12 And Abesa son of Saruia smote the Idumeans in the valley of Salt,
eighteen thousand.
18:13 And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumaeans became
David's servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.
18:14 So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice
to all his people.
18:15 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the army, and Josaphat the son
of Achilud [was] recorder.
18:16 And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] the
priests; and Susa [was] the scribe;
18:17 and Banaeas the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethite and the
Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king. |
18:1 Now after this it came to pass, that
David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns
out of the hand of the Philistines.
18:2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and
brought gifts.
18:3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to
stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
18:4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand
horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot
horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
18:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah,
David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
18:6 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became
David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David
whithersoever he went.
18:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of
Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
18:8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought
David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the
pillars, and the vessels of brass.
18:9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of
Hadarezer king of Zobah;
18:10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and
to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten
him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of
gold and silver and brass.
18:11 Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the
gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and
from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
18:12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley
of salt eighteen thousand.
18:13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's
servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
18:14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice
among all his people.
18:15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son
of Ahilud, recorder.
18:16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were
the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
18:17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the
Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king. |
