Dual Panel1Now after<310> this<3651> it came<1961> about that David<1732> defeated<5221> the Philistines<6430> and subdued<3665> them; and David<1732> took<3947> control<4964> of the chief<522> city<522> from the hand<3027> of the Philistines<6430>.
2He defeated<5221> Moab<4124>, and measured<4058> them with the line<2256>, making them lie<7901> down<7901> on the ground<776>; and he measured<4058> two<8147> lines<2256> to put<4191> to death<4191> and one full<4393> line<2256> to keep<2421> alive<2421>. And the Moabites<4124> became<1961> servants<5650> to David<1732>, bringing<5375> tribute<4503>.
3Then David<1732> defeated<5221> Hadadezer<1909>, the son<1121> of Rehob<7340> king<4428> of Zobah<6678>, as he went<1980> to restore<7725> his rule<3027> at the River<5104>.
4David<1732> captured<3920> from him 1,700 <505><7651><3967> horsemen<6571> and 20,000 <6242><505> foot<7273> soldiers<376><7273>; and David<1732> hamstrung<6136> the chariot<7393> horses<7393>, but reserved<3498> enough of them for 100 <3967> chariots<7393>.
5When the Arameans<758> of Damascus<1834> came<935> to help<5826> Hadadezer<1909>, king<4428> of Zobah<6678>, David<1732> killed<5221> 22,000 <6242><8147><505> Arameans<758>.
6Then David<1732> put<7760> garrisons<5333> among the Arameans<758> of Damascus<1834>, and the Arameans<758> became<1961> servants<5650> to David<1732>, bringing<5375> tribute<4503>. And the LORD<3068> helped<3467> David<1732> wherever<3605><834> he went<1980>.
7David<1732> took<3947> the shields<7982> of gold<2091> which<834> were carried<413> by the servants<5650> of Hadadezer<1909> and brought<935> them to Jerusalem<3389>.
8From Betah<984> and from Berothai<1307>, cities<5892> of Hadadezer<1909>, King<4428> David<1732> took<3947> a very<3966> large<7235> amount of bronze<5178>.
9Now when Toi<8583> king<4428> of Hamath<2574> heard<8085> that David<1732> had defeated<5221> all<3605> the army<2428> of Hadadezer<1909>,
10Toi<8583> sent<7971> Joram<3141> his son<1121> to King<4428> David<1732> to greet<7592><7965> him and bless<1288> him, because<5921><834> he had fought<3898> against Hadadezer<1909> and defeated<5221> him; for Hadadezer<1909> had been<1961> at war<4421> with Toi<8583>. And Joram brought with him articles<3627> of silver<3701>, of gold<2091> and of bronze<5178>.
11King<4428> David<1732> also<1571> dedicated<6942> these to the LORD<3068>, with the silver<3701> and gold<2091> that he had dedicated<6942> from all<3605> the nations<1471> which<834> he had subdued<3533>:
12from Aram<758> and Moab<4124> and the sons<1121> of Ammon<5983> and the Philistines<6430> and Amalek<6002>, and from the spoil<7998> of Hadadezer<1909>, son<1121> of Rehob<7340>, king<4428> of Zobah<6678>.
13So David<1732> made<6213> a name<8034> for himself when he returned<7725> from killing<5221> 18,000 <8083><6240><505> Arameans<758> in the Valley<1516> of Salt<4417>.
14He put<7760> garrisons<5333> in Edom<112>. In all<3605> Edom<112> he put<7760> garrisons<5333>, and all<3605> the Edomites<112> became<1961> servants<5650> to David<1732>. And the LORD<3068> helped<3467> David<1732> wherever<3605><834> he went<1980>.
15So David<1732> reigned<4427> over<5921> all<3605> Israel<3478>; and David<1732> administered<6213> justice<4941> and righteousness<6666> for all<3605> his people<5971>.
16Joab<3097> the son<1121> of Zeruiah<6870> was over<5921> the army<6635>, and Jehoshaphat<3092> the son<1121> of Ahilud<286> was recorder<2142>.
17Zadok<6659> the son<1121> of Ahitub<285> and Ahimelech<288> the son<1121> of Abiathar<54> were priests<3548>, and Seraiah<8304> was secretary<5613>.
18Benaiah<1141> the son<1121> of Jehoiada<3077> was over the Cherethites<3774> and the Pelethites<6432>; and David's<1732> sons<1121> were chief<3548> ministers<3548>.
