* And after this it came to pass , that David smote the Philistines , and subdued them : and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines . * And he smote Moab , and measured them with a line , casting them down to the ground ; even with two lines measured he to put to death , and with one full line to keep alive . And so the Moabites became David 's servants , and brought gifts . * David smote also Hadadezer , the son of Rehob , king of Zobah , as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates . * And David took from him a thousand chariots , and seven hundred horsemen , and twenty thousand footmen : and David houghed all the chariot horses , but reserved of them for an hundred chariots . * And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah , David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men . * Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus : and the Syrians became servants to David , and brought gifts . And the LORD 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 brass . * When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer , * Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David , to salute him , and to bless him , because he had fought against Hadadezer , and smitten him : for Hadadezer had wars with Toi . And Joram brought with him vessels of silver , and vessels of gold , and vessels of brass : * Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD , with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued ; * Of Syria , and of Moab , and of the children of Ammon , and of the Philistines , and of Amalek , and of the spoil of Hadadezer , son of Rehob , king of Zobah . * And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt , being eighteen thousand men . * And he put garrisons in Edom ; throughout all Edom put he garrisons , and all they of Edom became David 's servants . And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went . * And David reigned over all Israel ; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people . * And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host ; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder ; * And Zadok the son of Ahitub , and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar , were the priests ; and Seraiah was the scribe ; * And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites ; and David 's sons were chief rulers .
