Dual Panel1Now after this <0310> it came to pass, that David <01732> smote <05221> (8686) the Philistines <06430>_, and subdued <03665> (8686) them, and took <03947> (8799) Gath <01661> and her towns <01323> out of the hand <03027> of the Philistines <06430>_.
2And he smote <05221> (8686) Moab <04124>_; and the Moabites <04124> became David's <01732> servants <05650>_, [and] brought <05375> (8802) gifts <04503>_.
3And David <01732> smote <05221> (8686) Hadarezer <01928> king <04428> of Zobah <06678> unto Hamath <02574>_, as he went <03212> (8800) to stablish <05324> (8687) his dominion <03027> by the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>_. {Hadarezer: or, Hadadezer}
4And David <01732> took <03920> (8799) from him a thousand <0505> chariots <07393>_, and seven <07651> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>_, and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> footmen <0376> <07273>_: David <01732> also houghed <06131> (8762) all the chariot <07393> [horses], but reserved <03498> (8686) of them an hundred <03967> chariots <07393>_. {seven...: or, seven hundred}
5And when the Syrians <0758> of Damascus <01834> came <0935> (8799) to help <05826> (8800) Hadarezer <01928> king <04428> of Zobah <06678>_, David <01732> slew <05221> (8686) of the Syrians <0758> two <08147> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> men <0376>_. {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
6Then David <01732> put <07760> (8799) [garrisons] in Syriadamascus <0758> <01834>_; and the Syrians <0758> became David's <01732> servants <05650>_, [and] brought <05375> (8802) gifts <04503>_. Thus the LORD <03068> preserved <03467> (8686) David <01732> whithersoever he went <01980> (8804)_.
7And David <01732> took <03947> (8799) the shields <07982> of gold <02091> that were on the servants <05650> of Hadarezer <01928>_, and brought <0935> (8686) them to Jerusalem <03389>_.

9Now when Tou <08583> king <04428> of Hamath <02574> heard <08085> (8799) how David <01732> had smitten <05221> (8689) all the host <02428> of Hadarezer <01928> king <04428> of Zobah <06678>_; {Tou: also called, Toi}
10He sent <07971> (8799) Hadoram <01913> his son <01121> to king <04428> David <01732>_, to enquire <07592> (8800) of his welfare <07965>_, and to congratulate <01288> (8763) him, because he had fought <03898> (8738) against Hadarezer <01928>_, and smitten <05221> (8686) him; (for Hadarezer <01928> had war <0376> <04421> with Tou <08583>;) and [with him] all manner of vessels <03627> of gold <02091> and silver <03701> and brass <05178>_. {Hadoram: also called, Joram} {to enquire...: or, to salute} {to congratulate: Heb. to bless} {had war: Heb. was the man of wars}
11Them also king <04428> David <01732> dedicated <06942> (8689) unto the LORD <03068>_, with the silver <03701> and the gold <02091> that he brought <05375> (8804) from all [these] nations <01471>_; from Edom <0123>_, and from Moab <04124>_, and from the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>_, and from the Philistines <06430>_, and from Amalek <06002>_.
12Moreover Abishai <052> the son <01121> of Zeruiah <06870> slew <05221> (8689) of the Edomites <0123> in the valley <01516> of salt <04417> eighteen <08083> <06240> thousand <0505>_. {Abishai: Heb. Abshai}
13And he put <07760> (8799) garrisons <05333> in Edom <0123>_; and all the Edomites <0123> became David's <01732> servants <05650>_. Thus the LORD <03068> preserved <03467> (8686) David <01732> whithersoever he went <01980> (8804)_.
14So David <01732> reigned <04427> (8799) over all Israel <03478>_, and executed <06213> (8802) judgment <04941> and justice <06666> among all his people <05971>_.
15And Joab <03097> the son <01121> of Zeruiah <06870> [was] over the host <06635>_; and Jehoshaphat <03092> the son <01121> of Ahilud <0286>_, recorder <02142> (8688)_. {recorder: or, remembrancer}
