2 Samuel 8
David Extends His
Kingdom |
1 Chr. 18.1-13 |
1 |
And after this it came to pass, that
David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took
Metheg-am'mah out of the hand of the Philistines.
|
2 |
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.
|
3 |
David smote also Hadade'zer, the son of
Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river
Euphra'tes.
|
4 |
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 a hundred chariots.
|
5 |
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to
succor Hadade'zer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and
twenty thousand men.
|
6 |
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.
|
7 |
And David took the shields of gold that
were on the servants of Hadade'zer, and brought them to
Jerusalem.
|
8 |
And from Betah, and from Ber'othai,
cities of Hadade'zer, king David took exceeding much
brass.
|
9 |
When To'i king of Hamath heard that
David had smitten all the host of Hadade'zer,
|
10 |
then To'i sent Joram his son unto king
David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought
against Hadade'zer, and smitten him: for Hadade'zer had wars with
To'i. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
|
11 |
which also king David did dedicate unto
the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had
dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
|
12 |
of Syria, and of Moab, and of the
children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Am'alek, and of
the spoil of Hadade'zer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
|
13 |
And David gat him a name when he
returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. Ps. 60.1--0.1
|
14 |
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.
