I Chronicles Chapter 18
1 And after this David smote the
Philistines, and subdued them, and took
Gath, and the villages thereof 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 Hadadezer king of
Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to
stablish his border by the river Perath.
4 And David took from him a thousand
chariots, and seven thousand horsemen,
and twenty thousand footmen, and
destroyed all the chariots, but he
reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5 Then came the Aramites [Syrians] of
Damascus to succor Hadadezer king of
Zobah, but David slew of the Aramites
[Syrians] two and twenty thousand. 6
And David put a garrison in Aram
[Syria] of Damascus, and the Aramites
[Syrians] became David's servants, and
brought gifts: and the Lord preserved
David wheresoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold
that were of the servants of Hadadezer,
and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 And from Tibhath, and from Chun
(cities of Hadadezer) brought David
exceeding much brass, wherewith
Solomon made the brazen sea, and the
pillars and the vessels of brass.
9 Then Tou king of Hamath heard how
David had smitten all the host of
Hadadezer king of Zobah:
10 Therefore he sent Hadoram his son to
king David, to salute him, and to rejoice
with him, because he had fought against
Hadadezer, and beaten him (for Tou had
war with Hadadezer) who brought all
vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 And king David did dedicate them
unto the Lord, with the silver and gold
that he brought from all the nations, from
Edom, and from Moab, and from the
children of Ammon, and from the
Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote
of Edom in the salt valley eighteen
thousand,
13 And he put a garrison in Edom, and
all the Edomites became David's
servants: and the Lord preserved David
wheresoever he went.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and
executed judgment and justice to 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 the 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.
