2And he smoteH5221 MoabH4124; and the MoabitesH4124 became David’sH1732 servantsH5650, and broughtH5375 giftsH4503.
3And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 HadarezerH1928 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678 unto HamathH2574, as he wentH3212 to stablishH5324 his dominionH3027 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.1 4And DavidH1732 tookH3920 from him a thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 footmenH7273H376: DavidH1732 also hamstrungH6131 all the chariotH7393 horses, but reservedH3498 of them an hundredH3967 chariotsH7393.2 5And when the SyriansH758 of DamascusH1834 cameH935 to helpH5826 HadarezerH1928 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678, DavidH1732 slewH5221 of the SyriansH758 twoH8147 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376.3 6Then DavidH1732 putH7760 garrisons in Syria–damascusH1834H758; and the SyriansH758 became David’sH1732 servantsH5650, and broughtH5375 giftsH4503. Thus YhwhH3068 preservedH3467 DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980. 7And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the shieldsH7982 of goldH2091 that were on the servantsH5650 of HadarezerH1928, and broughtH935 them to JerusalemH3389. 8Likewise from TibhathH2880, and from ChunH3560, citiesH5892 of HadarezerH1928, broughtH3947 DavidH1732 veryH3966 muchH7227 brassH5178, wherewith SolomonH8010 madeH6213 the brasenH5178 seaH3220, and the pillarsH5982, and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178.4
9Now when TouH8583 kingH4428 of HamathH2574 heardH8085 how DavidH1732 had smittenH5221 all the armyH2428 of HadarezerH1928 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678;5 10He sentH7971 HadoramH1913 his sonH1121 to kingH4428 DavidH1732, to enquireH7592 of his welfareH7965, and to congratulateH1288 him, because he had foughtH3898 against HadarezerH1928, and smittenH5221 him; (for HadarezerH1928 had warH4421H376 with TouH8583;) and with him all manner of vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and silverH3701 and brassH5178.6789
11Them also kingH4428 DavidH1732 dedicatedH6942 unto YhwhH3068, with the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that he broughtH5375 from all these nationsH1471; from EdomH123, and from MoabH4124, and from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and from the PhilistinesH6430, and from AmalekH6002.
