1 Paralipomenon 18

¹And it came to pass after these things, that David struck the Philisthiims, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hand of the Philisthiims,

²and struck Moab; and the Moabites were made David's servants, offering him gifts.

³At that time David struck Adarezer also the king of Soba of the country of Hemath, when he went on to dilate his empire as far as the river Euphrates.

⁴David therefore took a thousand chariots of his, & seven thousand horsemen, & twenty thousand footmen, & he houghsinewed all the chariot horses, saving an hundred chariots, which he reserved to himself.

⁵And the Syrian also of Damascus came moreover, to give aid to Adarezer the king of Soba, but David struck also of his two & twenty thousand men.

⁶And he put soldiers in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, & bring gifts. And our Lord holp him in all things, to the which he went.

⁷David also took the golden quivers, which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them into Jerusalem.

⁸Moreover of Thebath, and Chun, the cities of Adarezer, very much brass, of which Salomon made the brazen Sea, and Pillars, and brazen vessels.

⁹Which when Tou the king of Hemath had heard, to wit, that David had strucken all the army of Adarezer the king of Soba,

¹⁰he sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had strucken, and had overthrown Adarezer: for Tou was adversary to Adarezer.

¹¹But all the vessels also of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to our Lord, with the silver and gold, which he had taken out of all the nations, as well of Idumea, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, as of the Philisthiims & Amalec.

¹²And Abisai the son of Sarvia struck Edom in the Vale of salt pits, eighteen thousand:

¹³and he appointed a garrison in Edom, that Idumea should serve David, and our Lord saved David in all things to which he went.

¹⁴David therefore reigned over all Israel, & did judgement and justice to all his people.

¹⁵Moreover Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud commenter.

¹⁶And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, Priests: and Susa, Scribe.

¹⁷Banaias also the son of Joiada over the legions Cerethi, and Phelethi: moreover the sons of David the chief at the king's hand.
