1Chr 18
1
And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them,
and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2
And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.
3
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion
by the river Euphrates.
4
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty
thousand footmen; and David hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for
a hundred chariots.
5
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote
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 tribute. And YHWH gave victory to David wherever he went.
7
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought
them to Jerusalem.
8
And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith
Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9
And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer
king of Zobah,
10
he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he
had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou;) and
[he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11
These also did king David dedicate to YHWH, with the silver and the gold that he carried
away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon,
and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12
Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen
thousand.
13
And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And YHWH
gave victory to David wherever he went.
14
And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness to all
his people.
15
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was
recorder;
16
and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and
Shavsha was scribe;
17
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the
sons of David were chief about the king.
