1 Chronicles 18

1And it came to pass afterwards, that David struck the Philistines, and routed them, andtook Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines. 2And he struck Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David,and tributaries. 3And David struck Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power towardthe river Euphrates. 4And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousandinfantry: and David houghed all the chariothorses, but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots. 5And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David struck of theSyrianarmy twenty and two thousand men. 6And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants toDavid: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went. 7And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought themto Jerusalem. 8And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar very much brass:of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels. 9And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had struck the whole force of Adraazar king ofSuba. 10And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him becausehe had fought against Adraazar, and struck him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar. 11And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king David consecrated tothe Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations; from Idumaea, and Moab, andfrom the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec. 12And Abesa son of Saruia struck the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand. 13And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumaeans became David's servants: andthe Lord delivered David wherever he went. 14So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice to all his people. 15And Joab the son of Saruiawas over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achiludwas recorder. 16And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar,were the priests; and Susawas the scribe; 17and Banaeas the son of Jodaewas over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies ofthe king.
