| # Chapter 18
| Now after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
| And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
| And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
| 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 a hundred chariots.
| And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
| 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.
| And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
| Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought very much brass, with which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
| Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
| He sent Hadoram his son to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had warred with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold, and silver, and brass.
| Them also king David dedicated to 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.
| Moreover, Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
| And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
| So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
| And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder;
| And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
| And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
