David Extends His Kingdom
(1 Chronicles 18.1-13)
1And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg–am´mah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
3David smote also Hadade´zer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphra´tes. 4And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots. 5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadade´zer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 6Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. 7And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadade´zer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8And from Betah, and from Ber´othai, cities of Hadade´zer, king David took exceeding much brass.
9When To´i king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadade´zer, 10then To´i sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadade´zer, and smitten him: for Hadade´zer had wars with To´i. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass: 11which also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; 12of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Am´alek, and of the spoil of Hadade´zer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

Ps 60 Title. And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. 14And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
David's Officers
(2 Samuel 20.23-26; 1 Chronicles 18.14-17)
15And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. 16And Jo´ab the son of Zeru-i´ah was over the host; and Jehosh´aphat the son of Ahi´lud was recorder; 17and Zadok the son of Ahi´tub, and Ahim´elech the son of Abi´athar, were the priests; and Serai´ah was the scribe; 18and Benai´ah the son of Jehoi´ada was over both the Cher´ethites and the Pel´ethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
