[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, 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 LORD 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 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 LORD, 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 [14] And he put garrisons in Edom; put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
