8:1 After
this
David
defeated
the
Philistines
and
subdued
them,
and
David
took
Metheg-ammah
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines.
8:2 And
he
defeated
Moab
and
he
measured
them
with
a
line,
making
them
lie
down
on
the
ground.
Two
lines
he
measured
to
be
put
to
death,
and
one
full
line
to
be
spared.
And
the
Moabites
became
servants
to
David
and
brought
tribute.
8:3 David
also
defeated
Hadadezer
the
son
of
Rehob,
king
of
Zobah,
as
he
went
to
restore
his
power
at
the
river
Euphrates.
8:4 And
David
took
from
him
1,700
horsemen,
and
20,000
foot
soldiers.
And
David
hamstrung
all
the
chariot
horses
but
left
enough
for
100
chariots.
8:5 And
when
the
Syrians
of
Damascus
came
to
help
Hadadezer
king
of
Zobah,
David
struck
down
22,000
men
of
the
Syrians.
8:6 Then
David
put
garrisons
in
Aram
of
Damascus,
and
the
Syrians
became
servants
to
David
and
brought
tribute.
And
the
LORD
gave
victory
to
David
wherever
he
went.
8:7 And
David
took
the
shields
of
gold
that
were
carried
by
the
servants
of
Hadadezer
and
brought
them
to
Jerusalem.
8:8 And
from
Betah
and
from
Berothai,
cities
of
Hadadezer,
King
David
took
very
much
bronze.
8:9 When
Toi
king
of
Hamath
heard
that
David
had
defeated
the
whole
army
of
Hadadezer,
8:10 Toi
sent
his
son
Joram
to
King
David,
to
ask
about
his
health
and
to
bless
him
because
he
had
fought
against
Hadadezer
and
defeated
him,
for
Hadadezer
had
often
been
at
war
with
Toi.
And
Joram
brought
with
him
articles
of
silver,
of
gold,
and
of
bronze.
8:11 These
also
King
David
dedicated
to
the
LORD,
together
with
the
silver
and
gold
that
he
dedicated
from
all
the
nations
he
subdued,
8:12 from
Edom,
Moab,
the
Ammonites,
the
Philistines,
Amalek,
and
from
the
spoil
of
Hadadezer
the
son
of
Rehob,
king
of
Zobah.
8:13 And
David
made
a
name
for
himself
when
he
returned
from
striking
down
18,000
Edomites
in
the
Valley
of
Salt.
8:14 Then
he
put
garrisons
in
Edom;
throughout
all
Edom
he
put
garrisons,
and
all
the
Edomites
became
David's
servants.
And
the
LORD
gave
victory
to
David
wherever
he
went.
8:15 So
David
reigned
over
all
Israel.
And
David
administered
justice
and
equity
to
all
his
people.
8:16 Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
was
over
the
army,
and
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Ahilud
was
recorder,
8:17 and
Zadok
the
son
of
Ahitub
and
Ahimelech
the
son
of
Abiathar
were
priests,
and
Seraiah
was
secretary,
8:18 and
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
was
over
the
Cherethites
and
the
Pelethites,
and
David's
sons
were
priests.
