2 Samuel 8:1-18 NASB

[1] Now it happened afterward that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines. [2] And He defeated Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and a full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute. [3] Then David defeated Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the Euphrates River. [4] And David captured from him 1,700 horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David hamstrung almost all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for a hundred chariots. [5] When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand men among the Arameans. [6] Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the Lord helped David wherever he went. [7] David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. [8] And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze. [9] Now when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, [10] Toi sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and bless him, because he had fought Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze. [11] King David also consecrated these gifts to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had consecrated from all the nations which he had subdued: [12] from Aram, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoils of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. [13] So David made a name for himself when he returned from killing eighteen thousand Arameans in the Valley of Salt. [14] He also put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord helped David wherever he went. [15] So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered justice and righteousness for all his people. [16] Joab the son of Zeruiah was commander over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was secretary. [17] Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe. [18] Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
