David’s Further Conquests

1 After this ^ait came to pass that David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

2 Then he¹ defeated ^aMoab, and the Moabites became David’s ^bservants, and brought tribute.

3 And ^aDavid defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his power by the River Euphrates.

4 David took from him one thousand chariots,¹ seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David² hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.

5 When the ^aSyrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.

6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. So the Lord preserved David wherever he went.

7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Also from¹ Tibhath and from Chun, cities of Hadadezer, David brought a large amount of ^abronze, with which ^bSolomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and the articles of bronze.

9 Now when¹ Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

10 he sent¹ Hadoram his son to King David, to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou); and Hadoram brought with him all kinds of ^aarticles of gold, silver, and bronze.

11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold that he had brought from all these nations—from Edom, from Moab, from the ^apeople of Ammon, from the ^bPhilistines, and from ^cAmalek.
