2 Samuel 8:1-14

Thomson(i) 1 After this David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took the country, appurtenant to the cities, out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 David also smote Moab, and measured them with lines, having caused them to dwell in the country, and there were two lines to be put to death, and two lines to be saved alive. So Moab became servants to David, and brought him gifts. 3 David also smote Adraazar, son of Raab king of Suba. As he was going to establish his authority over the river Euphrates, 4 David intercepted a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand cavalry, and twenty thousand infantry; and David destroyed all the chariots, except one hundred which he reserved for himself. 5 And when Syria of Damascus came to assist Adraazar king of Suba, David smote of the Syrians twenty two thousand men, 6 and David placed a garrison in Syria at Damascus, and the Syrians became servants to David and brought him gifts. So the Lord preserved David withersoever he went. 7 And David took the breastplates of gold, which were on the servants of Adraazar, king of Suba and brought them to Jerusalem. Now these were they which Susakim king of Egypt took when he came up against Jerusalem, in the days of Roboam son of Solomon. 8 And from Metebak, and from the principal cities of Adraazar, king David took brass in great abundance, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the vessels of brass. 9 And when Thoou, the king of Emath, heard that David had smitten all the army of Adraazar, 10 Thoou sent his son Jedduram to king David to salute him courteously, and congratulate him for having fought Adraazar, and smitten him; for he was at enmity with Adraazar. And Jedduram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass. 11 And king David dedicated these to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he had dedicated out of all the cities which he had subdued; 12 Out of Idumea and Moab, and the children of Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amelek, and the spoils of Adraazar, son of Raab king of Suba. 13 Thus David made himself renowned. And when he returned, he smote of the Idumeans at Gebelim, to the number of eighteen thousand, 14 and placed garrisons in Idumea, throughout the whole extent of it. So all the Idumeans became servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
