First
Chronicles : Chapter 18
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 hands of the
Philistines.
2. And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and
brought gifts.
3. And David smote Had-a-re-zer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to
stablish his dominion by the river Eu-phra-tes.
4. And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand
horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hocked all the chariot
horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5. And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Had-a-re-zer king of
Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6. Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; 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
Had-a-re-zer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8. Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Had-a-re-zer, brought
David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the
pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9. Now when To-u king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host
of Had-a-re-zer king of Zobah;
10. He sent Ha-dor-am his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare,
and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Had-a-re-zer, and
smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with To-u;) 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
Am-a-lek.
12. Moreover Ab-i-shai the son of Zer-u-i-ah 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 Zer-u-i-ah was over the host; and Je-hosh-a-phat
the son of A-hi-lud, recorder.
16. And Zadok the son of A-hi-tub, and A-bim-e-lech the son of A-bi-a-thar,
were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
17. And Be-nai-ah the son of Je-hoi-a-da was over the Cher-e-thites and
the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
