chapter 8
1
And it
came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them
down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line,
casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to
death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
3 David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of
Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.
4 And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred
horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and
only reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer
the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and
Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his
enterprises, whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the arms of gold, which the servants
of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of
Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.
9 And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had
defeated all the forces of Adarezer.
10 And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute
him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had
fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to
Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and
vessels of brass:
11 And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together
with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had
subdued:
12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon,
and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of
Rohob king of Soba.
13 David also made himself a name, when he returned
after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:
14 And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a
garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in
all enterprises he went about.
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David did
judgment and justice to all his people.
16 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and
Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son
of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:
18 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi
and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
