1 Chronicles 18:1-17 LSB

[1] Now it happened afterwards, that David struck the Philistines and subdued them and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines. [2] He also struck Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute. [3] Then David struck Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to set up his power at the Euphrates River. [4] And David captured from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for 100 chariots. [5] Then the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah. And David struck down 22,000 men of the Arameans. [6] Then David placed garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And Yahweh granted salvation to David wherever he went. [7] And David took the small shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. [8] Also from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a very large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the bronze utensils. [9] Then Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck down all the military force of Hadadezer king of Zobah, [10] so he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him down; for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. And Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze. [11] King David also set these apart as holy to Yahweh with the silver and the gold which he had carried away from all the nations: from Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, and from Amalek. [12] Moreover, Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote 18,000 of Edom in the Valley of Salt. [13] Then he placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Yahweh granted salvation to David wherever he went. [14] So David reigned over all Israel; and he was doing justice and righteousness for all his people. [15] Now Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; [16] and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was scribe; [17] and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and the sons of David were chiefs at the king’s side.
