David's
Triumphs |
|
|
 |
2 Samuel 8:1
|
|
Now after this it came about that David defeated
the Philistines and subdued them; and David took control of the chief city from
the hand of the Philistines. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:2 |
|
He defeated Moab, and measured them with the
line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to
death and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David,
bringing tribute. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:3 |
|
Then David defeated Hadadezer, the son of Rehob
king of Zobah, as he went to restore his rule at the River. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:4 |
|
David captured from him 1,700 horsemen and 20,000
foot soldiers; and David hamstrung the chariot horses, but reserved enough of
them for 100 chariots. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:5 |
|
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer,
king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 Arameans. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:6 |
|
Then David put garrisons among the Arameans
of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And
the LORD helped David wherever he went. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:7 |
|
David took the shields of gold which were carried
by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:8 |
|
From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer,
King David took a very large amount of bronze. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:9 |
|
Now when Toi king of Hamath heard that David
had defeated all the army of Hadadezer, |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:10 |
|
Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet
him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him; for
Hadadezer had been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver,
of gold and of bronze. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:11 |
|
King David also dedicated these to the LORD,
with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations which he had
subdued: |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:12 |
|
from Aram and Moab and the sons of Ammon and
the Philistines and Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king
of Zobah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:13 |
|
So David made a name for himself when he returned
from killing 18,000 Arameans in the Valley of Salt. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:14 |
|
He put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put
garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped
David wherever he went. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:15 |
|
So David reigned over all Israel; and David
administered justice and righteousness for all his people. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:16 |
|
Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and
Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:17 |
|
Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son
of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was secretary. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 8:18 |
|
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites
and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers. |
