1 Chronicles 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 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.
