* Now after this it came to pass , that David smote the Philistines , and subdued them , and took (note :)Which ( 2Sa_8:1 ) calls the bridle of bondage , because it was a strong town and kept the country around it in subjection .(:note ) Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines . * And he smote Moab , and the Moabites became Dauids seruants , and brought giftes . * And Dauid smote Hadarezer King of Zobah vnto Hamath , as he went to stablish his border by the riuer Perath . * And Dauid tooke from him a thousand charets , and seuen thousand horsemen , and twentie thousand footemen , and destroyed all the charets , but he reserued of them an hundreth charets . * Then came the Aramites of Damascus to succour Hadarezer King of Zobah , but Dauid slewe of the Aramites two and twentie thousand . * Then David put [garrisons ] in Syriadamascus ; and the Syrians became David 's servants , [and ] brought gifts . Thus the LORD (note :)That is in all things that he attempted .(:note ) preserved David whithersoever he went . * And Dauid tooke the shieldes of gold that were of the seruants of Hadarezer , and brought them to Ierusalem . * Likewise from (note :)Which in ( 2Sa_8:8 ) is called Betah and Berothai .(:note ) 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 . * Then Tou King of Hamath heard howe Dauid had smitten all the hoste of Hadarezer King of Zobah : * He sent (note :)Called also Joram ( 2Sa_8:10 ).(:note ) Hadoram his son to king David , to enquire 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 . * Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD , with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these ] nations ; from (note :)Because the Edomites and the Syrians joined their power together , it is said , ( 2Sa_8:12 ) that the Amramites were spoiled .(:note ) Edom , and from Moab , and from the children of Ammon , and from the Philistines , and from Amalek . * Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt (note :)Which is understood that Joab slew 12 ,000 as is in ( Psa_60:1 ) and Abishai the rest .(:note ) eighteen thousand . * And he put a garison in Edom , and all the Edomites became Dauids seruantes : and the Lord preserued Dauid wheresoeuer he went . * So Dauid reigned ouer all Israel , and executed iudgement and iustice to all his people . * And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah was ouer the hoste , and Iehoshaphat the sonne of Ahilud recorder , * And Zadok the sonne of Ahitub , and Abimelech the sonne of Abiathar were the Priests , &amp ; Shausha the Scribe , * And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was ] over the (note :)Read ( 2Sa_8:18 ).(:note ) Cherethites and the Pelethites ; and the sons of David [were ] chief about the king .
