18 After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Gath and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he defeated Moab, and the Mo′abites became servants to David and brought tribute.
3 David also defeated Hadade′zer king of Zobah, toward Hamath, as he went to set up his monument[a] at the river Euphra′tes. 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but left enough for a hundred chariots. 5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadade′zer king of Zobah, David slew twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians. 6 Then David put garrisons[b] in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went. 7 And David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadade′zer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadade′zer, David took very much bronze; with it Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the vessels of bronze.
9 When To′u king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadade′zer, king of Zobah, 10 he sent his son Hador′am to King David, to greet him, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Hadade′zer and defeated him; for Hadade′zer had often been at war with To′u. And he sent all sorts of articles of gold, of silver, and of bronze; 11 these also King David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had carried off from all the nations, from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Am′alek.
12 And Abi′shai, the son of Zeru′iah, slew eighteen thousand E′domites in the Valley of Salt. 13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the E′domites became David’s servants. And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.
David’s Administration
14 So David reigned over all Israel; and he administered justice and equity to all his people. 15 And Jo′ab the son of Zeru′iah was over the army; and Jehosh′aphat the son of Ahi′lud was recorder; 16 and Zadok the son of Ahi′tub and Ahim′elech the son of Abi′athar were priests; and Shavsha was secretary; 17 and Bena′iah the son of Jehoi′ada was over the Cher′ethites and the Pel′ethites; and David’s sons were the chief officials in the service of the king.

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
18 At pagkatapos nito'y nangyari na sinaktan ni David ang mga Filisteo, at pinasuko sila, at sinakop ang Gath, at ang mga nayon niyaon sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
2 At sinaktan niya ang Moab; at ang mga Moabita ay naging alipin ni David, at nagsipagdala ng mga kaloob.
3 At sinaktan ni David sa Hamath si Adarezer na hari sa Soba samantalang kaniyang itinatatag ang kaniyang kapangyarihan sa tabi ng ilog Eufrates.
4 At kumuha si David sa kaniya ng isang libong karo, at pitong libong mangangabayo, at dalawangpung libong naglalakad: at pinilayan ni David ang lahat ng mga kabayo ng mga karo, nguni't nagtira sa mga yaon ng sa isang daang karo.
5 At nang ang mga taga Siria sa Damasco ay magsiparoon upang magsisaklolo kay Adarezer na hari sa Soba, sumakit si David sa mga taga Siria ng dalawangpu't dalawang libong lalake.
6 Nang magkagayo'y naglagay si David ng mga pulutong sa Siria ng Damasco; at ang mga taga Siria ay naging mga alipin ni David, at nagsipagdala ng mga kaloob. At binigyan ng Panginoon ng pagtatagumpay si David saan man siya naparoon.
7 At kinuha ni David ang mga kalasag na ginto, na nangasa mga lingkod ni Adarezer, at pinagdadala sa Jerusalem.
8 At mula sa Thibath at mula sa Chun, na mga bayan ni Adarezer; ay kumuha si David ng totoong maraming tanso, na siyang ginawa ni Salomon na dagatdagatan na tanso, at mga haligi, at mga kasangkapang tanso.
9 At nang mabalitaan ni Tou na hari sa Hamath na sinaktan ni David ang buong hukbo ni Adarezer na hari sa Soba,
10 Kaniyang sinugo si Adoram na kaniyang anak sa haring David, upang bumati sa kaniya, at purihin siya, sapagka't siya'y lumaban kay Adarezer at sinaktan niya siya (sapagka't si Adarezer ay may mga pakikipagdigma kay Tou); at siya'y nagdala ng lahat na sarisaring kasangkapang ginto, at pilak, at tanso.
11 Ang mga ito naman ay itinalaga ng haring David sa Panginoon, pati ng pilak at ginto na kaniyang kinuha sa lahat na bansa; na mula sa Edom, at mula sa Moab, at mula sa mga anak ni Ammon, at mula sa mga Filisteo, at mula sa Amalec.
12 Bukod dito'y si Abisai na anak ni Sarvia ay sumakit sa mga Idumeo sa Libis ng Asin, ng labingwalong libo.
13 At naglagay siya ng mga pulutong sa Edom; at lahat ng mga Idumeo ay naging mga alipin ni David. At binigyan ng pagtatagumpay ng Panginoon si David saan man siya naparoon.
14 At si David ay naghari sa buong Israel; at siya'y gumawa ng kahatulan at ng katuwiran sa buong bayan niya.
15 At si Joab na anak ni Sarvia ay nasa pamamahala sa hukbo; at si Josaphat na anak ni Ahilud ay kasangguni.
16 At si Sadoc na anak ni Achitob, at si Abimelec na anak ni Abiathar, ay mga saserdote; at si Sausa ay kalihim;
17 At si Benaias na anak ni Joiada ay nasa pamamahala sa mga Ceretheo at sa mga Peletheo; at ang mga anak ni David ay mga pinuno sa siping ng hari.
