And after³¹⁰ this it came to pass, that David¹⁷³² smote⁵²²¹ the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and subdued³⁶⁶⁵ them: and David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ Methegammah⁴⁹⁶⁴ out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

And he smote⁵²²¹ Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and measured⁴⁰⁵⁸ them with a line,²²⁵⁶ casting them down⁷⁹⁰¹ to the ground;⁷⁷⁶ even with two⁸¹⁴⁷ lines²²⁵⁶ measured⁴⁰⁵⁸ he to put to death,⁴¹⁹¹ and with one full⁴³⁹³ line²²⁵⁶ to keep alive.²⁴²¹ And so the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ became David's¹⁷³² servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and brought⁵³⁷⁵ gifts.⁴⁵⁰³

David¹⁷³² smote⁵²²¹ also Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Rehob,⁷³⁴⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah,⁶⁶⁷⁸ as he went³²¹² to recover⁷⁷²⁵ his border³⁰²⁷ at the river⁵¹⁰⁴ Euphrates.⁶⁵⁷⁸

And David¹⁷³² took³⁹²⁰ from him a thousand⁵⁰⁵ chariots, and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ footmen:³⁷⁶ and David¹⁷³² houghed⁶¹³¹ all the chariot⁷³⁹³ horses, but reserved³⁴⁹⁸ of them for an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots.⁷³⁹³

And when the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ of Damascus¹⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ to succour⁵⁸²⁶ Hadadezer¹⁹⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah,⁶⁶⁷⁸ David¹⁷³² slew⁵²²¹ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ two⁸¹⁴⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶

And David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ the shields⁷⁹⁸² of gold²⁰⁹¹ that were on the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ and brought⁹³⁵ them to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

And from Betah,⁹⁸⁴ and from Berothai,¹²⁶⁸ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ exceeding³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²³⁵ brass.⁵¹⁷⁸

When Toi⁸⁵⁸³ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that David¹⁷³² had smitten⁵²²¹ all the host²⁴²⁸ of Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹

Then Toi⁸⁵⁸³ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Joram³¹⁴¹ his son¹¹²¹ unto king⁴⁴²⁸ David,¹⁷³² to salute⁷⁵⁹² him, and to bless¹²⁸⁸ him, because he had fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ and smitten⁵²²¹ him: for Hadadezer¹⁹⁰⁹ had wars³⁷⁶ with Toi.⁸⁵⁸³ And Joram brought with him³⁰²⁷ vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of brass:⁵¹⁷⁸

Which also king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² did dedicate⁶⁹⁴² unto Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ with the silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ that he had dedicated⁶⁹⁴² of all nations¹⁴⁷¹ which he subdued;³⁵³³

And David¹⁷³² gat⁶²¹³ him a name⁸⁰³⁴ when he returned⁷⁷²⁵ from smiting⁵²²¹ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of salt,⁴⁴¹⁷ being eighteen⁸⁰⁸³ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.

And he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ garrisons⁵³³³ in Edom;¹²³ throughout all Edom¹²³ put⁷⁷⁶⁰ he garrisons,⁵³³³ and all they of Edom¹²³ became David's¹⁷³² servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰ And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ preserved³⁴⁶⁷ David¹⁷³² whithersoever he went.¹⁹⁸⁰

And David¹⁷³² reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over all Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and David¹⁷³² executed⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice⁶⁶⁶⁶ unto all his people.⁵⁹⁷¹

And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ was over the host;⁶⁶³⁵ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the son¹¹²¹ of Ahilud²⁸⁶ was recorder;²¹⁴²

And Zadok⁶⁶⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahitub,²⁸⁵ and Ahimelech²⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Abiathar,⁵⁴ were the priests;³⁵⁴⁸ and Seraiah⁸³⁰⁴ was the scribe;⁵⁶⁰⁸
