1 Chronicles 18

1 Chronicles Chapter 18 KJV

1David subdueth the Philistines, and maketh the Moabites tributary. 3He smiteth Hadarezer and the Syrians. 9Tou king of Hamath sendeth his son with presents to bless David; who dedicateth the presents, and the spoil which he had taken, to God. 13He putteth garrisons in Edom. 14His good reign; a list of his principal officers.
1 Now after this 1it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took 2Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he 1smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
3 ¶ And David smote aHadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, 1as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 And David took from him 1a thousand chariots, and aseven thousand 2horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also 3houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5 And when the Syrians of aDamascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David 1slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Then David 1put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the Lord 2preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, 1and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Likewise from aTibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith 1Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 ¶ Now when aTou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10 He sent aHadoram his son to king David, bto enquire of his welfare, and cto congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer dhad war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 ¶ Them also king David 1dedicated 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 Amalek.
12 Moreover aAbishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt 1eighteen thousand.
13 ¶ And he put 1garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
14 ¶ So David reigned 1over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 And 1Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, arecorder.
16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and aAbimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and bShavsha was scribe;
17 And 1Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were achief about the king.
