King James Version
Some
time
later,
David defeated
the Philistines, subdued them ,
and took Metheg-ammah
from
the hand of the Philistines.
And
after
this
it
came
to
pass
that
David smote
the Philistines, and
subdued them :
and David
took Methegammah
out
of
the hand of the Philistines.
David
also
defeated
the
Moabites,
made
them
lie
down
on
the
ground
, and measured them off
with a cord.
He
measured
off
with two lengths
those
to be
put to death, and with one length
those
to be
spared
. So the Moabites became subject
to
David
and brought him
tribute
.
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
.
David also defeated
Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who
had
marched
out
to restore
his dominion
along
the Euphrates
River.
David smote
also Hadadezer ,
the
son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as

from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand
charioteers
, and twenty thousand foot
soldiers,
and he
hamstrung
all the horses except
a
hundred

kept
for the
chariots.

seven hundred

hundred
chariots.

twenty-
two thousand men.
And
when the Syrians
of Damascus came to succor
Hadadezer king
of Zobah, David slew
of
the
Syrians
two and
twenty
thousand men.
Then he
placed
garrisons in Aram
of Damascus ,
and the Arameans
became subject
to David and brought him
tribute
. So
the LORD made
David victorious
wherever
he went.
Then David
put
garrisons in Syria
of Damascus :
and the Syrians
became servants

When King
Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated
the entire
army
of Hadadezer,
When Toi king
of Hamath heard that David had smitten
all
the host
of Hadadezer,
he
sent his son Joram
to
greet
King David and bless him for
fighting
and
defeating
Hadadezer, who
had been
at
war
with Toi. Joram brought with him articles
of silver and gold and
bronze
,
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:
and
King David dedicated
these
to
the LORD, along
with the silver and gold he had dedicated from
all the
nations he had
subdued —
Which
also
king David did
dedicate
unto
the LORD, with the silver and gold that
he had dedicated of
all nations which
he subdued ;
from
Edom
and Moab, from
the Ammonites
and Philistines and Amalekites
, and from
the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Of
Syria,
and of
Moab, and
