1 After this, David defeated and subdued the Philistines by conquering Gath and its surrounding towns.

2 David also conquered the land of Moab, and the Moabites who were spared became David’s subjects and paid him tribute money.

3 David also destroyed the forces of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, as far as Hamath, when Hadadezer marched out to strengthen his control along the Euphrates River.

7 David brought the gold shields of Hadadezer’s officers to Jerusalem,
