2 Samuel 8

1And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight,and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines. 2And David struck Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on theground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants toDavid, yielding tribute. 3And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his powerto the river Euphrates. 4And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousandfootmen: and David houghed all his chariothorses, and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots. 5And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-twothousand men belonging to the Syrian. 6And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants andtributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David wherever he went. 7And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba,and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in thedays of Roboam son of Solomon. 8And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass:with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture. 9And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar. 10And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulatehim on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his handswere vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass. 11And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold whichhe consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered, 12out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines,and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba. 13And David madehimself a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem tothe number of eighteen thousand. 14And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servantsto the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went. 15And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all hispeople. 16And Joab the son of Saruiawas over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achiludwas keeper of the records. 17And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar,were priests; and Sasawas the scribe, 18and Banaeas son of Jodaewas councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princesof the court.
