1 Chronicles 18

After this it happened, that Dawud struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines. ²He struck Moab; and the Moabites became servants to Dawud, and brought tribute. ³Dawud struck Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. ⁴Dawud took from him one thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and Dawud hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots. ⁵When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, Dawud struck of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men. ⁶Then Dawud put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to Dawud, and brought tribute. Allah gave victory to Dawud wherever he went. ⁷Dawud took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. ⁸From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, Dawud took very much bronze, with which Sulayman made the bronze sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze. ⁹When Tou king of Hamath heard that Dawud had struck all the army of Hadarezer king of Zobah, ¹⁰he sent Hadoram his son to king Dawud, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and struck him; (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou;) and he had with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze. ¹¹These also did king Dawud dedicate to Allah, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. ¹²Moreover Abishai Ibn Zeruiah struck of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand. ¹³He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to Dawud. Allah gave victory to Dawud wherever he went. ¹⁴Dawud reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness to all his people. ¹⁵Joab Ibn Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat Ibn Ahilud was recorder; ¹⁶and Zadok Ibn Ahitub, and Abimelech Ibn Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe; ¹⁷and Benaiah Ibn Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of Dawud were chief about the king.
