1And after this it came to pass that DavidH1732 smote the PhilistinesH6430, and subduedH3665 them; and DavidH1732 tookH3947 the power of the capital out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. 2And he smote the Moabites, and measuredH4058 them with a line, making them lieH7901 down on the groundH776; and he measuredH4058 twoH8147 lines to putH4191 to deathH4191, and one full line to keep aliveH2421. And the Moabites becameH1961 David's servantsH5650, [and] brought giftsH4503. 3And DavidH1732 smote HadadezerH1909, the sonH1121 of RehobH7340, kingH4428 of ZobahH6678, as he wentH7725 to recover his dominion by the riverH5104 Euphrates. 4And DavidH1732 tookH3920 from him oneH376 thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 horsemenH6571, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 footmen; and DavidH1732 houghed all the chariotH7393 [horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundredH3967 chariotsH7393. 5And the Syrians of DamascusH1834 cameH935 to helpH5826 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678, and DavidH1732 smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousandH505 menH376. 6And DavidH1732 putH7760 garrisonsH5333 in Syria of DamascusH1834; and the Syrians becameH1961 servantsH5650 to DavidH1732, [and] brought giftsH4503. And Jehovah preserved DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980. 7And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the shieldsH7982 of goldH2091 that were on the servantsH5650 of HadadezerH1909, and broughtH935 them to JerusalemH3389. 8And from Betah, and from Berothai, citiesH5892 of HadadezerH1909, kingH4428 DavidH1732 tookH3947 exceeding muchH7235 bronzeH5178. 9And ToiH8583 kingH4428 of HamathH2574 heardH8085 that DavidH1732 had smitten all the forces of HadadezerH1909; 10and ToiH8583 sentH7971 JoramH3141 his sonH1121 to kingH4428 DavidH1732, to inquire of his welfareH7965, and to congratulate him, because he had foughtH3898 against HadadezerH1909 and smitten him; for HadadezerH1909 wasH1961 continually at warH4421 with ToiH8583. And he brought with him vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of bronzeH5178. 11Them alsoH1571 kingH4428 DavidH1732 dedicated to Jehovah, with the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that he had dedicated of all the nationsH1471 that he had subduedH3533: 12of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of AmmonH5983, and of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the Amalekites, and of the spoilH7998 of HadadezerH1909, the sonH1121 of RehobH7340, kingH4428 of ZobahH6678. 13And DavidH1732 madeH6213 him a nameH8034 when he returnedH7725, after he had smitten the Syrians in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, eighteen thousandH505 [men]. 14And he putH7760 garrisonsH5333 in EdomH123: throughout EdomH123 did he putH7760 garrisonsH5333; and all they of EdomH123 becameH1961 servantsH5650 to DavidH1732. And Jehovah preserved DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980. 15And DavidH1732 reignedH4427 over all IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 executed judgmentH4941 and justiceH4941 to all his peopleH5971. 16And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 was over the hostH6635; and JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286 was chronicler; 17and ZadokH6659 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54, were the priestsH3548; and SeraiahH8304 was scribeH5608; 18and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wasH1961 over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sonsH1121 wereH1961 chief rulers.
