David’s Military Campaigns
18 After this,(A) David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its surrounding villages from Philistine control. 2 He also defeated the Moabites, and they became David’s subjects and brought tribute.
3 David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah at Hamath when he went to establish his control at the River Euphrates. 4 David captured one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers from him, hamstrung all the horses, and kept a hundred chariots.[a]
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to assist King Hadadezer of Zobah,(B) David struck down twenty-two thousand Aramean men. 6 Then he placed garrisons[b](C) in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and brought tribute. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.
7 David took the gold shields carried by Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 From Tibhath and Cun, Hadadezer’s cities, David also took huge quantities of bronze, from which Solomon made the bronze basin,[c] the pillars, and the bronze articles.(D)
9 When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer of Zobah, 10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet him and to congratulate him because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Tou and Hadadezer had fought many wars. Hadoram brought all kinds of gold, silver, and bronze items. 11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all the nations – from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and the Amalekites.
12 Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Salt Valley. 13 He put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.
14 So David reigned over all Israel,(E) administering justice and righteousness for all his people.
15 Joab(F) son of Zeruiah was over the army;
Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was court historian;
16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech[d](G) son of Abiathar were priests;
Shavsha was court secretary;
17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada(H) was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;
and David’s sons were the chief officials at the king’s side.

18 En tid härefter slog David filistéerna och kuvade dem. Därvid tog han Gat med underlydande orter ur filistéernas hand.
2 Han slog ock moabiterna; så blevo moabiterna David underdåniga och förde till honom skänker.
3 Likaledes slog David Hadareser, konungen i Soba, vid Hamat, när denne hade dragit åstad för att befästa sitt välde vid floden Frat.
4 Och David tog ifrån honom ett tusen vagnar och tog till fånga sju tusen ryttare och tjugu tusen man fotfolk; och David lät avskära fotsenorna på alla vagnshästarna, utom på ett hundra hästar, som han skonade.
5 När sedan araméerna från Damaskus kommo för att hjälpa Hadareser, konungen i Soba, nedgjorde David tjugutvå tusen man av dem.
6 Och David insatte fogdar bland araméerna i Damaskus; och araméerna blevo David underdåniga och förde till honom skänker. Så gav HERREN seger åt David, varhelst han drog fram.
7 Och David tog de gyllene sköldar som Hadaresers tjänare hade burit och förde dem till Jerusalem.
8 Och från Hadaresers städer Tibhat och Kun tog David koppar i stor myckenhet; därav gjorde sedan Salomo kopparhavet, pelarna och kopparkärlen.
9 Då nu Tou, konungen i Hamat, hörde att David hade slagit Hadaresers, konungens i Soba, hela här,
10 sände han sin son Hadoram till konung David för att hälsa honom och lyckönska honom, därför att han hade givit sig i strid med Hadareser och slagit honom; ty Hadareser hade varit Tous fiende. Han sände ock alla slags kärl av guld, silver och koppar.
11 Också dessa helgade konung David åt HERREN, likasom han hade gjort med det silver och guld han hade hemfört från alla andra folk: från edoméerna, moabiterna, Ammons barn, filistéerna och amalekiterna.
12 Och sedan Absai, Serujas son, hade slagit edoméerna i Saltdalen, aderton tusen man,
13 insatte han fogdar i Edom; och alla edoméer blevo David underdåniga. Så gav HERREN seger åt David, varhelst han drog fram.
14 David regerade nu över hela Israel; och han skipade lag och rätt åt allt sitt folk.
15 Joab, Serujas son, hade befälet över krigshären, och Josafat, Ahiluds son, var kansler.
16 Sadok, Ahitubs son, och Abimelek, Ebjatars son, voro präster, och Sausa var sekreterare.
17 Benaja, Jojadas son, hade befälet över keretéerna och peletéerna; men Davids söner voro de förnämste vid konungens sida.

He hamstrung(E) all but a hundred of the chariot horses.

7 David took the gold shields carried by the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 From Tebah[b] and Kun, towns that belonged to Hadadezer, David took a great quantity of bronze, which Solomon used to make the bronze Sea,(G) the pillars and various bronze articles.
9 When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold, of silver and of bronze.
11 King David dedicated these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold he had taken from all these nations: Edom(H) and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek.(I)
