Chapters:



1:   Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2:   And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
3:   And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4:   And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5:   And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6:   Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus;

and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts.

Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

7:   And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8:   Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9:   Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10:   He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11:   Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12:   Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

13:   And he put garrisons in Edom;

and all the Edomites became David's servants.

Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

14:   So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15:   And Joab the son Zeruiah was over the host;

and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

16:   And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests;

and Shavsha was scribe;

17:   And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

and the sons of David were chief about the king.
