| 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. |
| 2 | And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. |
| 3 | And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates. |
| 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. |
| 5 | And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. |
| 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. |
| 7 | And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. |
| 8 | Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. |
| 9 | Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 12 | Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand. |
| 13 | And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. |
| 14 | So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. |
| 15 | And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. |
| 16 | And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the 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.
