CHAPTER SAMUEL 8
And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took
Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2
And he smote Moab, and measured them with
a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with
one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants,
and
brought gifts.
3
David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border
at the river Euphrates.
4
And David took from him a thousand
chariots,
and seven hundred horsemen,
and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot
horses,
but reserved of them
for
an hundred chariots.
5
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of
Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6
Then David put garrisons in
Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David,
and
brought gifts. And the L
ORD
preserved David whithersoever he went.
7
And David took the shields of gold that were on the
servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8
And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities
of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
9
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
10
Then Toi
sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against
Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And
Joram
brought with him vessels
of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
11
Which also king David did dedicate unto the
L
ORD
, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
12
Of Syria,
and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil
of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13
And David gat
him
a name when he returned from
smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt,
being
eighteen thousand
men.
14
And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom
became David’s servants. And the L
ORD
preserved David whithersoever he went.
15
And David
reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
16
And Joab
the son of Zeruiah
was
over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud
was
recorder;
17
And Zadok
the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar,
were
the priests; and Seraiah
was
the scribe;
18
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada
was over
both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s
sons were chief rulers.
CHAPTER SAMUEL 9
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for
Jonathan’s sake?
2
And
there was
of the house of Saul a servant whose name
was
Ziba. And when
they had called him unto David, the king said unto him,
Art
thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant
is he.
3
And the king said,
Is
there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness
of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son,
which is
lame on
his
feet.
