1 Chronicles 18

1 And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,

And it came to pass afterwards, that David smote the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David’s servants, and brought him gifts.

And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, [and] tributaries.

3 At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates.

And David smote Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power toward the river Euphrates.

4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.

And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry: and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots.

5 And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.

And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David smote of the Syrian [army] twenty and two thousand men.

6 And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.

And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants to David: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

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

And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels.

9 Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,

And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had smitten the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba.

10 He sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.

And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Adraazar, and smitten him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar.

11 And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.

And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations; from Idumaea, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec.

12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:

And Abesa son of Saruia smote the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand.

13 And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.

And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumaeans became David's servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice to all his people.

15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.

And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was] recorder.

16 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.

And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Susa [was] the scribe;

17 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.

and Banaeas the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.
