1 Chronicles 18:1-13 - David's Victory Over His Enemies
1 And after that, David beat the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and the towns that belonged thereto, out of the hands of the Philistines. 2 And he beat the Moabites, and the Moabites became David's servants and paid him tribute.
3 And David beat Hadadezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to bring his dominion unto the river Euphrates. 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen, and brake all the chariots, save that he reserved of them a hundred.
5 Then came the Syrians of Damascus to help Hadadezer king of Zobah. And David slew of the Syrians twenty two thousand, 6 and put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: And the Syrians became David's servants and brought him tribute. For the LORD helped David in all that he went to.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, brought David exceeding much brass. Wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea and the pillars and the vessels of brass.
9 And when Thou king of Hamath, heard how David had beat all the host of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him and to bless him, because he had fought with Hadadezer and beaten him - for Thou had war with Hadadezer - and sent all manner of Jewels of gold, silver and brass with him. 11 And king David dedicated them also unto the LORD with the silver and gold that he brought from all nations, from the Edomites, from the Moabites, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, from the Amalekites.
12 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the salt valley eighteen thousand, 13 and put Soldiers in Edom, and all Edom became David's servants: for the LORD kept David in all that he took in hand.
