Chapter 18
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
Syria-damascus;
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
inquire
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.
