1 Chronicles 18
1NOW after these things, David smote the Philistines and subdued them, and took out of their hands Geth and the villages thereof.
2He smote Moab also, and they became vassals to David and brought him gifts.
3David also smote Adraazar king of Suba Emath. As he was going to establish his dominion over the river Euphrates;
4David intercepted a thousand of his chariots and seven thousand cavalry, and twenty thousand infantry. And David destroyed all the chariots, reserving only a hundred of them.
5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to assist Adraazar king of Suba, David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.
6And David garrisoned that part of Syria which belonged to Damascus, and the inhabitants became David’s vassals, and brought him gifts. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
7And David took the chains of gold which were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8And from Matabeth and from the chief cities which belonged to Adraazar, David took brass in great abundance, of which Solomon made the brazen sea and the pillars and the vessels of brass.
9Now when Thoa king of Emath, heard that David had smitten all the army of Adraazar king of Suba,
10he sent his son Aduram to king David, to sue for peace with him, and to congratulate him because he had fought Adraazar and defeated him; for Thoa was at war with Adraazar. And all the vessels of gold and silver and brass, which he brought,
11these king David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations from Idumea and Moab, and from the Ammonites and the Philistines and from Amelek.
12When Abessa son of Saruia had smitten of the Idumeans in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand,
13he put garrisons in the vale; and the Idumeans became David’s vassals, and the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
14And David reigned over all Israel, and continued to execute judgment and justice among all the people.
15And Joab son of Saruia was over the army; and Josaphat son of Achilud was recorder;
16and Sadok son of Achitob and Achimelech son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Sousa was secretary;
17and Banaias son of Jodae was over the Cherethites and the Phelethites, and David’s sons were next in rank to the king.
