8 ^(A)After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took ^(B)Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

²^(C)And he defeated Moab and he measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground. Two lines he measured to be put to death, and one full line to be spared. And the Moabites ^(D)became servants to David and ^(E)brought tribute.

³David also defeated ^(F)Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of ^(G)Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the river Euphrates. ⁴^(H)And David took from him 1,700 horsemen, and 20,000 foot soldiers. And David ^(I)hamstrung all the chariot horses but left enough for 100 chariots. ⁵^(J)And when the ^(K)Syrians of Damascus came to help ^(L)Hadadezer king of ^(M)Zobah, David struck down 22,000 men of the Syrians. ⁶Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Syrians ^(N)became servants to David and brought tribute. ^(O)And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went. ⁷And David took ^(P)the shields of gold that were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. ⁸And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.

⁹When Toi king of ^(Q)Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, ¹⁰Toi sent his son Joram to King David, to ask about his health and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Hadadezer had often been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold, and of bronze. ¹¹^(R)These also King David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he dedicated from all the nations he subdued, ¹²from Edom, ^(S)Moab, ^(T)the Ammonites, ^(U)the Philistines, ^(V)Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of ^(W)Zobah.

¹³And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites in ^(X)the Valley of Salt. ¹⁴Then he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, ^(Y)and all the Edomites became David's servants. And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.

David’s Military Victories^(A)

8 Sometime later, David defeated and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah away from the Philistines. ²David also conquered Moab, then measured them with a cord, making them lie down on the ground. He executed everyone measured out in each two lengths’ measurement of the cord, but spared the ones measured out by every third length. Then the Moabites were placed under servitude to David, and made to pay tribute.

³David also attacked King Hadadezer, Rehob’s son from Zobah, when he was attempting to restore his hegemony^[a] over the Euphrates^[b] River. ⁴David captured 1,000 of his chariots, 1,700^[c] horsemen, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses except for enough to supply^[d] 100 chariots. ⁵When Arameans came from Damascus to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them. ⁶David erected garrisons in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, placing the Arameans under servitude to him,^[e] and they paid tribute to him. ⁷David also confiscated the gold shields that belonged to Hadadezer’s officers and took them to Jerusalem. ⁸He^[f] also confiscated a vast quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, cities under Hadadezer’s control.

⁹When King Tou of Hamath learned that David had conquered the entire army of King Hadadezer of Zobah, ¹⁰Tou sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory over Hadadezer, because he had been at war with Tou. Joram brought articles of silver, gold, and bronze with him, ¹¹and King David dedicated them to the Lord, along with the silver and gold that had been dedicated from all the nations that he had conquered, ¹²including from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and spoil from King Hadadezer, Rehob’s son from Zobah.

¹³David made a name for himself when he returned from killing 18,000 Edomites in the Salt Valley. ¹⁴He erected garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became subservient to David, while the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.
