1 Chronicles 18
David Extends His
Kingdom |
2 Sam. 8.1-14 |
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 Hadare'zer king of
Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river
Euphra'tes.
|
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 a hundred chariots.
|
5 |
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to
help Hadare'zer 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 Hadare'zer, and brought them to
Jerusalem.
|
8 |
Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun,
cities of Hadare'zer, brought David very much brass, wherewith
Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of
brass. 1 Kgs. 7.40-47 · 2 Chr.
4.11-18
|
9 |
Now when To'u king of Hamath heard how
David had smitten all the host of Hadare'zer king of
Zobah;
|
10 |
he sent Hador'am his son to king David,
to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had
fought against Hadare'zer, and smitten him; (for Hadare'zer had war
with To'u;) 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
Am'alek.
|
12 |
Moreover, Ab'ishai the son of Zeru-i'ah
slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand. Ps.
60.1
|
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 Jo'ab the son of Zeru-i'ah was over the host; and Jehosh'aphat the son of Ahi'lud,
recorder;
|
16 |
and Zadok the son of Ahi'tub, and
Abim'elech the son of Abi'athar, were the priests; and
Shavsha was scribe;
|
17 |
and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was over the Cher'ethites and the Pel'ethites; and the sons
of David were chief about the king.
