Now it happened afterward that David (a)8:1 Lit struckdefeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took (b)8:1 Lit the bridle of the mother citycontrol of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines.1Ch 18:1

And he (c)8:2 Lit struckdefeated 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.Num 22:3; 1Ch 18:2; Deu 2:9

Then David (d)8:3 Lit struckdefeated Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as he went to restore his (e)8:3 Lit handpower at the Euphrates River. 1Ki 11:23And David captured from him (f)8:4 Here LXX reads as 1 Chr 18:4; partial DSS text appears to also1,700 horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David hamstrung almost all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for a hundred chariots. 2Sa 10:18When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David (g)8:5 Lit struckkilled twenty-two thousand men among the Arameans. 2Sa 10:6Then 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. 1Ch 18:6; 1Ch 18:13David took the shields of gold which were (h)8:7 Lit oncarried by the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 2Ch 12:2And from (i)8:8 In 1 Chr 18:8, TibhathBetah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.1Ch 18:8

Now when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had (j)8:9 Lit struckdefeated the whole army of Hadadezer, 1Ch 18:9Toi sent his son (k)8:10 In 1 Chr 18:10, HadoramJoram to King David to (l)8:10 Lit ask him of his welfaregreet him and bless him, because he had fought Hadadezer and (m)8:10 Lit struckdefeated him; for Hadadezer (n)8:10 Lit was a man of warshad been at war with Toi. And (o)8:10 Lit there were in his handJoram brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze. 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: 1Ch 18:11from (p)8:12 Some mss EdomAram, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoils of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

So David made a name for himself when he returned from (q)8:13 Lit strikingkilling eighteen thousand (r)8:13 Some mss EdomArameans in the Valley of Salt. 1Ch 18:12He 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.1Ch 18:13

So David reigned over all Israel; and David (s)8:15 Lit was doingadministered justice and righteousness for all his people. 1Ch 18:14Joab the son of Zeruiah was commander over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was secretary. 2Sa 20:23; 1Ch 18:15Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe. 1Ch 6:12; 1Ch 9:11Benaiah the son of Jehoiada (t)8:18 See 1 Chr 18:17; MT and the Cherethiteswas over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were (u)8:18 Lit priestschief ministers.2Sa 15:18; 2Sa 20:7; 1Ki 1:38
