1 Chronicles Chapter 18

1And it came to pass after that, that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And he took Gath and its satellite villages from the Philistines' control. 2And he attacked Moab, and Moab became David's servants and tribute-bearers. 3And David attacked Hadadezer king of Zobah, on his way to Hamath, when he went to establish his authority at the River Euphrates. 4And David captured from him a thousand chariots and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand infantrymen. And David hamstrung all the horses of the chariot fleet, but he allowed one hundred of its chariots to remain. 5Then Aramaea of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David struck down twenty-two thousand men in Aramaea. 6And David stationed garrisons in Aramaea of Damascus, and Aramaea became David's servants and tribute-bearers. And the Lord sustained David everywhere he went. 7And David took the golden shields which were on Hadadezer's servants, and he brought them to Jerusalem. 8And David took a very great quantity of copper from Tibhath and from Chun, Hadadezer's cities, with which Solomon made the copper artificial sea and the columns and the copper equipment. 9And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10he sent Hadoram his son to King David to ask him for peace and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Hadadezer had been a man of war with Tou. Tou sent Hadoram with all kinds of instruments of gold and silver and copper. 11Them too King David consecrated to the Lord with the silver and the gold which he had brought from all the nations – from Edom and from Moab and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines and from Amalek. 12And Abishai the son of Zeruiah defeated Edom in the Valley of Salt – eighteen thousand men. 13And he stationed garrisons in Edom, and all of Edom became David's servants. And the Lord sustained David everywhere he went. 14So David reigned over all of Israel, and he would execute judgment and justice to all his people. 15And Joab the son of Zeruiah was in charge of the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was state secretary. 16And Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was the scribe. 17And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and the first sons of David were at the king's side.
