And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg–am'mah out of the hand of the Philistines.
|
| 2 |
¶ 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.
|
| 3 |
¶ David smote also Hadade'zer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphra'tes.
|

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 a hundred chariots.
|
| 5 |
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadade'zer 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.

| 7 |
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadade'zer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
|
| 8 |
And from Betah, and from Ber'othai, cities of Hadade'zer, king David took exceeding much brass.
|
| 9 |
¶ When To'i king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadade'zer,
|
| 10 |
then To'i sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadade'zer, and smitten him: for Hadade'zer had wars with To'i. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
|
| 11 |
which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
|
| 12 |
of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Am'alek, and of the spoil of Hadade'zer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
|
| 13 |
¶ And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. Ps. 60.1--0.1
