Now after³¹⁰ this it came to pass, that David¹⁷³² smote⁵²²¹ the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and subdued³⁶⁶⁵ them, and took³⁹⁴⁷ Gath¹⁶⁶¹ and her towns¹³²³ out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

And he smote⁵²²¹ Moab;⁴¹²⁴ and the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ became David's¹⁷³² servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and brought⁵³⁷⁵ gifts.⁴⁵⁰³

And David¹⁷³² smote⁵²²¹ Hadarezer¹⁹²⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah⁶⁶⁷⁸ unto Hamath,²⁵⁷⁴ as he went³²¹² to stablish⁵³²⁴ his dominion³⁰²⁷ by the river⁵¹⁰⁴ Euphrates.⁶⁵⁷⁸

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

And when the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ of Damascus¹⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ to help⁵⁸²⁶ Hadarezer¹⁹²⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah,⁶⁶⁷⁸ David¹⁷³² slew⁵²²¹ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ two⁸¹⁴⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶

Then David¹⁷³² put⁷⁷⁶⁰ garrisons in Syriadamascus;⁷⁵⁸ and the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ became David's¹⁷³² servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and brought⁵³⁷⁵ gifts.⁴⁵⁰³ Thus Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ preserved³⁴⁶⁷ David¹⁷³² whithersoever he went.¹⁹⁸⁰

And David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ the shields⁷⁹⁸² of gold²⁰⁹¹ that were on the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Hadarezer,¹⁹²⁸ and brought⁹³⁵ them to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

Likewise from Tibhath,²⁸⁸⁰ and from Chun,³⁵⁶⁰ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Hadarezer,¹⁹²⁸ brought³⁹⁴⁷ David¹⁷³² very³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²²⁷ brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ wherewith Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ the brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ sea,³²²⁰ and the pillars,⁵⁹⁸² and the vessels³⁶²⁷ of brass.⁵¹⁷⁸

Now when Tou⁸⁵⁸³ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ how David¹⁷³² had smitten⁵²²¹ all the host²⁴²⁸ of Hadarezer¹⁹²⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah;⁶⁶⁷⁸

He sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Hadoram¹⁹¹³ his son¹¹²¹ to king⁴⁴²⁸ David,¹⁷³² to enquire⁷⁵⁹² of his welfare,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and to congratulate¹²⁸⁸ him, because he had fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Hadarezer,¹⁹²⁸ and smitten⁵²²¹ him; (for Hadarezer¹⁹²⁸ had war³⁷⁶ with Tou;)⁸⁵⁸³ and with him all manner of vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver³⁷⁰¹ and brass.⁵¹⁷⁸

Them also king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² dedicated⁶⁹⁴² unto Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ with the silver³⁷⁰¹ and the gold²⁰⁹¹ that he brought⁵³⁷⁵ from all these nations;¹⁴⁷¹ from Edom,¹²³ and from Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and from the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and from the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and from Amalek.⁶⁰⁰²

Moreover Abishai⁵² the son¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ slew⁵²²¹ of the Edomites¹²³ in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of salt⁴⁴¹⁷ eighteen⁸⁰⁸³ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

And he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ garrisons⁵³³³ in Edom;¹²³ and all the Edomites¹²³ became David's¹⁷³² servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰ Thus Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ preserved³⁴⁶⁷ David¹⁷³² whithersoever he went.¹⁹⁸⁰

So David¹⁷³² reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over all Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and executed⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice⁶⁶⁶⁶ among all his people.⁵⁹⁷¹

And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ was over the host;⁶⁶³⁵ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the son¹¹²¹ of Ahilud,²⁸⁶ recorder.²¹⁴²

And Zadok⁶⁶⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahitub,²⁸⁵ and Abimelech⁴⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Abiathar,⁵⁴ were the priests;³⁵⁴⁸ and Shavsha⁷⁷⁹⁸ was scribe;⁵⁶⁰⁸

And Benaiah¹¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ was over the Cherethites³⁷⁷⁴ and the Pelethites;⁶⁴³² and the sons¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² were chief⁷²²³ about³⁰²⁷ the king.⁴⁴²⁸
