3 琐巴王哈大底谢到幼发拉底河去,要建立自己的势力的时候,大卫就攻打他,直到哈马。 4 大卫掳获了他的战车一千辆,马兵七千人,步兵二万名。大卫把所有战车的马的蹄筋都砍断,只留下一百辆车的马。
击败亚兰人(C)
5 大马士革的亚兰人来帮助琐巴王哈大底谢的时候,大卫就杀了二万二千名亚兰人。 6 于是大卫在大马士革的亚兰地驻军,亚兰人就臣服大卫,给他进贡。大卫无论到甚么地方去,耶和华都使他得胜。 7 大卫夺取了哈大底谢臣仆所拿的金盾牌,带回耶路撒冷。 8 大卫又从属于哈大底谢的提巴和均二城中,夺取了大量的铜;后来所罗门用这些铜来制造铜海、铜柱和一切铜器。
9 哈马王陀乌听见大卫击败了琐巴王哈大底谢的全军, 10 就差派自己的儿子哈多兰去见大卫王,给他问安,祝贺他,因为他与哈大底谢交战,击败了哈大底谢。原来陀乌与哈大底谢常有争战。哈多兰送来了各样金、银、铜制的器皿。 11 大卫王把这些器皿,连同从各国夺取的金银,就是从以东、摩押、亚扪人、非利士人和亚玛力人夺取的,都分别为圣献给耶和华。

David’s Military Victories(A)
18 After this, David defeated and subdued the Philistines, and then took possession of Gath and its towns from Philistine control. 2 He also conquered Moab, placing them in servitude and making them pay tribute.
3 David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, which is near Hamath,[a] while he was going about establishing his hegemony[b] as far as the Euphrates[c] River. 4 David confiscated 1,000 chariots, 7,000 horsemen, and 20,000 foot soldiers from him, and hamstrung all of the chariot horses except for a reserve force of 100 chariots. 5 When Arameans came from Damascus to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them. 6 David later erected garrisons[d] in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans were placed under servitude to David, to whom they paid tribute. 7 David also confiscated the gold shields that belonged to Hadadezer’s officials and took them to Jerusalem. 8 David also confiscated a vast quantity of bronze from Tibhath[e] and Cun, cities under Hadadezer’s control. Later on, Solomon crafted the bronze sea, the pillars, and the bronze vessels for the Temple.[f]
9 When King Tou of Hamath learned that David had conquered King Hadadezer of Zobah’s entire army, 10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David to meet and congratulate him, because he had fought against and defeated Hadadezer. Since Hadadezer had often been to war against Tou, he sent all sorts of gold, silver, and bronze goods 11 to King David, which David[g] also dedicated to the Lord, along with silver and gold that he confiscated from all the surrounding[h] nations, including Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 Zeruiah’s son Abishai killed 18,000 Edomites in the Salt Valley. 13 He erected garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became subservient to David, while the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.
David’s Reign(B)
14 So David reigned over all of Israel, administering justice and equity to all of his people. 15 Zeruiah’s son Joab served in charge of the army, Ahilud’s son Jehoshaphat was his personal archivist,[i] 16 Ahitub’s son Zadok and Abiathar’s son Ahimelech were priests, Shavsha[j] was his personal secretary,[k] 17 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah supervised the special forces[l] and mercenaries,[m] while David’s sons worked as chief officials in service to the king.[n]

David’s Further Conquests(A)
18 After this (B)it came to pass that David [a]attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines. 2 Then he [b]defeated (C)Moab, and the Moabites became David’s (D)servants, and brought tribute.
3 And (E)David [c]defeated [d]Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his power by the River Euphrates. 4 David took from him one thousand chariots, [e]seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David [f]hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.
5 When the (F)Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. So the Lord preserved David wherever he went. 7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 Also from [g]Tibhath and from [h]Chun, cities of [i]Hadadezer, David brought a large amount of (G)bronze, with which (H)Solomon made the bronze [j]Sea, the pillars, and the articles of bronze.
9 Now when [k]Tou king of Hamath heard that David had [l]defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10 he sent [m]Hadoram his son to King David, to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and [n]defeated him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou); and Hadoram brought with him all kinds of (I)articles of gold, silver, and bronze. 11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold that he had brought from all these nations—from Edom, from Moab, from the (J)people of Ammon, from the (K)Philistines, and from (L)Amalek.
12 Moreover (M)Abishai the son of Zeruiah killed (N)eighteen thousand [o]Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 13 (O)He also put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
David’s Administration(P)
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and administered judgment and justice to all his people. 15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and [p]Abimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; [q]Shavsha was the scribe; 17 (Q)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were [r]chief ministers at the king’s side.
