2 Samuel 8:1-6

1 1Now it happened afterward that David 2defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took 3control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines.

2 4And He 5defeated 6Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and a full line to keep alive. And 7the Moabites became servants to David, 8bringing tribute.

3Then David 9defeated 10Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as 11he went to restore his 12power at the Euphrates River. 4And David captured from him 131,700 horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David 14hamstrung almost all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for a hundred chariots. 5When 15the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David 16killed twenty-two thousand men among the Arameans. 6Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and 17the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And 18the Lord helped David wherever he went.
