      | ¶ | And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines. | |
| And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And [so] the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts. | ||
| ¶ | David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates. | |
| And David took from him a thousand [chariots], and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] an hundred chariots. | ||
| And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. | ||
| Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. | ||
| And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. | ||
| And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass. | ||
| ¶ | When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer, | |
| Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And [Joram] brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass: | ||
| Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; | ||
| Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. | ||
| And David gat [him] a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, [being] eighteen thousand [men]. | ||
| And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. | ||
| ¶ | And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. | |
 | And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder; | ||
| And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Seraiah [was] the scribe; | ||
| And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers. |
