Bible Text
[2] He struck Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute. [3] David struck Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. [4] David took from him one thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots. [5] When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men. [6] Then David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went. [7] David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. [8] From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, with which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. [9] When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah, [10] he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and struck him; (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou;) and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. [11] These also did king David dedicate to Yahweh, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
