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.

And he
smote Moab; and the
Moabites became
David's servants, and
brought gifts.

And

Hamath, as he
went to
stablish his
dominion by the
river Euphrates.

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.

And when the
Syrians of
Damascus came to
help Hadarezer king of
Zobah, David slew of the
Syrians two and
twenty thousand men.

Then
David put garrisons in

Syrians became
David's servants, and
brought gifts. Thus the
LORD preserved David whithersoever he
went.

And

servants of
Hadarezer, and
brought them to
Jerusalem.

Likewise from

Solomon made the
brasen sea, and the
pillars, and the
vessels of
brass.

Now when

He
sent Hadoram his

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.

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.

Moreover

And he

So
