* And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines , and subdued them ; and David took the power of the capital out of the hand of the Philistines . * And he smote the Moabites , and measured them with a line , making them lie down on the ground ; and he measured two lines to put to death , and one full line to keep alive . And the Moabites became David 's servants , [and ] brought gifts . * And David smote Hadadezer , the son of Rehob , king of Zobah , as he went to recover his dominion by the river Euphrates . * And David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen , and twenty thousand footmen ; and David houghed all the chariot [horses ], but reserved of them [for ] a hundred chariots . * And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah , and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men . * And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus ; and the Syrians became servants to David , [and ] brought gifts . And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went . * And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer , and brought them to Jerusalem . * And from Betah , and from Berothai , cities of Hadadezer , king David took exceeding much bronze . * And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer ; * and Toi sent Joram his son to king David , to inquire of his welfare , and to congratulate him , because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him ; for Hadadezer was continually at war with Toi . And he brought with him vessels of silver , and vessels of gold , and vessels of bronze . * Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah , with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated of all the nations that he had subdued : * of the Syrians , and of the Moabites , and of the children of Ammon , and of the Philistines , and of the Amalekites , and of the spoil of Hadadezer , the son of Rehob , king of Zobah . * And David made him a name when he returned , after he had smitten the Syrians in the valley of salt , eighteen thousand [men ]. * And he put garrisons in Edom : throughout Edom did he put garrisons ; and all they of Edom became servants to David . And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went .
