1Chr 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.
2
And he smote Moab; and the Gr. Moab Moabites became servants to David, and tributaries.
3
And David smote Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power
toward the river Euphrates.
4
And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty
thousand infantry: and David houghed all the Lit. chariots chariot horses, but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots.
5
And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David smote Gr. in the Syrian of the Syrian army twenty
and two thousand men.
6
And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants
to David: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.
7
And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought
them to Jerusalem.
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.
9
And Thoa king of Emath heard that David Gr. smote had smitten the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba.
10
And he sent Aduram his son to king David Gr. possibly to ask conditions of peace; See Lu 14:32; Jud 18:15; Hebraism 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.
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.
12
And Abesa son of Saruia smote Gr. Idumaea the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand.
13
And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumaeans became David’s servants:
and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.
14
So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgement and justice to all his
people.
15
And Joab the son of Saruia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achilud was
recorder.
16
And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Susa
was the scribe;
17
and Banaeas the son of Jodae was over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons
of David were the chief See Ac 24:27, «successor’ deputies of the king.
