1 Chronicles 18
- 1
- 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 Syriadamascus; 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 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.
- 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.
