* And it came to pass after this , that David smote the Philistines , and humbled them : and David took Metheg –haammah out of the hand of the Philistines . * And he smote Moab , and measured them with a line , laying them down on the ground ; and he measured with two lines to put to death , and with one full line to keep alive . And the Moabites became David ’s servants , bringing presents . * David smote also Hadad ’ezer , the son of Rechob , the king of Zobah , as he went to extend his territory at the river Euphrates . * And David captured from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen , and twenty thousand men on foot : and David hamstringed all the chariot –teams , but reserved of them a hundred chariot –teams . * And the Syrians of Damascus then came to aid Hadad ’ezer , the king of Zobah , when David slew of the Syrians twenty and two thousand men . * And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus : and the Syrians became servants to David , bearing presents . And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went . * And David took the shields of gold that belonged to the servants of Hadad ’ezer , and brought them to Jerusalem . * And from Betach , and from Berothai , cities of Hadad ’ezer , did king David take exceedingly much copper . * And when To ’i the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadad ’ezer , * Then did To ’i send Yoram his son unto king David , to ask him after his well –being , and to bless him , because that he had fought against Hadad ’ezer , and smitten him ; for Hadad ’ezer had been engaged in wars with To ’i ; and he had in his hand vessels of silver , and vessels of gold , and vessels of copper : * These also did king David sanctify unto the Lord , with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the nations which he subdued ; * From Syria , and from Moab , and from the children of ‘Ammon , and from the Philistines , and from ‘Amalek , and from the spoil of Hadad ’ezer , the son of Rechob , the king of Zobah . * And David acquired a name when he returned from his smiting the Syrians in the valley of salt , eighteen thousand men . * And he put garrisons in Edom ; throughout all Edom put he garrisons , and all the Edomites became servants to David . And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went .
