2 Samuel 8
8
1And it cometh to pass afterwards that David smiteth the Philistines, and humbleth them, and David taketh the bridle of the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines.
2And he smiteth Moab, and measureth them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measureth two lines to put to death, and the fulness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are to David for servants, bearers of a present.
3And David smiteth Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates;]
4and David captureth from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth utterly the whole of the charioteers, only he leaveth of them a hundred charioteers.
5And Aram of Damascus cometh to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smiteth of Aram twenty and two thousand men;
6and David putteth garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is to David for a servant, bearing a present; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone;
7and David taketh the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and bringeth them to Jerusalem;
8and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, hath king David taken very much brass.
9And Toi king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten all the force of Hadadezer,
10and Toi sendeth Joram his son unto king David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him, (because that he hath fought against Hadadezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars [with] Toi had Hadadezer been), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass,
11also them did king David sanctify to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
12of Aram, and of Moab, and of the Bene-Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.
13And David maketh a name in his turning back from his smiting Aram in the valley of Salt — eighteen thousand;
14and he putteth in Edom garrisons — in all Edom he hath put garrisons, and all Edom are servants to David; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone.
15And David reigneth over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
16and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
17and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
18and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.

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.
