Shmuel Bais 8

1And after this it came to pass that Dovid struck the Pelishtim, and subdued them; and Dovid took Meteg Ammah out of the yad (hand, control) of the Pelishtim.
2And he struck Moav, and measured them with a chevel (cord, rope), casting them down to the ground; even with two chavalim (ropes, cords) measured he to put to death, and with one full chevel (cord) to keep alive. And so Moav became to Dovid as avadim, and brought minchah (gifts, tribute).
3Dovid struck also Hadadezer Ben Rechov Melech Tzovah, as he went to recover his yad (rule) at the nahar (river) Euphrates.
4And Dovid captured from him an elef and seven hundred parashim, and twenty elef foot soldiers; and Dovid hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer Melech Tzovah, Dovid struck down the Syrians two and twenty elef ish.
6Then Dovid put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became avadim to Dovid, and brought minchah. And Hashem saved Dovid wherever he went.
7And Dovid took the shields of zahav that were on the avadim of Hadadezer, and brought them to Yerushalayim.
8And from Betach,#8:8 Tivchat, 1Chr 18:8 and from Berotai,#8:8 Kun, 1Chr 18:8 cities of Hadadezer, Dovid HaMelech took exceeding much nechoshet.
9When To'i Melech Chamat heard that Dovid had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
10Then To'i sent Yoram bno unto Dovid HaMelech, to give him shalom greetings, and to put a berachah on him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with To'u. And Yoram brought with him vessels of kesef, and vessels of zahav, and vessels of nechoshet;
11Which also Dovid HaMelech did dedicate as kodesh unto Hashem, with the kesef and zahav that he had dedicated as kodesh of kol HaGoyim which he subdued;
12Of Syria, and of Moav, and of the Bnei Ammon, and of the Pelishtim, and of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer Ben Rechov Melech Tzovah.
13And Dovid made himself a shem when he returned from striking down Aram in the Gey Melach, being eighteen elef men.
14And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became avadim to Dovid. And Hashem saved Dovid wherever he went.
15And Dovid reigned over kol Yisroel; and Dovid executed mishpat and tzedakah unto all his people.
16And Yoav Ben Tzeruyah was over the army; and Yehoshaphat Ben Achilud was mazkir (secretary, recorder).
17And Tzadok Ben Achituv, and Achimelech Ben Evyatar (Abiathar), were the kohanim; and Serayah was the sofer (scribe);
18And Benayah Ben Yehoyada was over both the Kereti and the Peleti; and Benei Dovid were kohanim.#8:18 See Ps 110:4

2 Samuel 8

David’s Kingdom Expands
1Now afterward David attacked the Philistines and subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2He also defeated Moab. He made them lie down on the ground and measured them with a cord. Every two measures of them were put to death, and the third measure was kept alive. So the Moabites became vassals to David, bringing tribute.
3David also defeated King Hadadezer son of Rehob of Zobah, as he went to restore his dominion along the River.
4David captured from him 1700 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, while reserving 100 of them for chariots.
5When the Arameans of Damascus came to the aid of King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down 22,000 Aramean men.
6Then David stationed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became vassals to David, bringing tribute. So Adonai gave victory to David wherever he went
7David also took the golden shields of Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
8From Betah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a vast amount of bronze.
9Now when King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
10Toi sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer—for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver, gold and bronze.
11These too King David consecrated to Adonai, along with the silver and gold that he had consecrated from all the nations that he had subdued:
12from Aram, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13Then David made a name for himself when he returned from striking 18,000 down from Edom in the Valley of Salt.
14Then he stationed garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom he stationed garrisons, so that all the Edomites became vassals to David. So Adonai gave victory to David wherever he went.
15David reigned over all Israel, and David executed justice and righteousness for all his people.
16Joab son of Zeruiah was commander over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder;
17Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were kohanim; Seraiah was scribe;
18Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and David’s sons were chief ministers.
