(2 Samuel 8:1–14; Psalm 60:1–12)
1
And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,
2
And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David’s servants, and brought him gifts.
3
At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates.
4
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.
5
And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.
6
And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.
7
And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8
Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9
Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,
10
He sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.
11
And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
12
And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
13
And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.

David’s Officers

(2 Samuel 8:15–18)
14
So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15
And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.
16
And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
17
And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.
(2 Samuel 8:1–14; Psalm 60:1–12)
1
After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2
He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.
3
David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, toward Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4
David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one hundred chariots.
5
When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.
6
Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
7
David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8
From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
9
When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10
he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.
11
King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12
Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13
He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
