1So after all that, David straight up took down the Philistines and flexed on them, snagging Gath and its towns, no cap.

2He also took out Moab; now the Moabites are basically David's hype squad, bringing him gifts.

3David went after Hadarezer king of Zobah all the way to Hamath, establishing his rizz by the Euphrates.

4He grabbed a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. David even took out all the chariot horses but kept a hundred, just in case.

5When the Syrians from Damascus showed up to back Hadarezer, David took down twenty-two thousand of them, savage.

6David set up garrisons in Syria-Damascus, and now the Syrians are part of David's crew, bringing him gifts. The Lord had David's back wherever he went, fr.

7David snagged the gold shields from Hadarezer's squad and brought them back to Jerusalem, lit.

8From Tibhath and Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought back a ton of brass, which Solomon used to make the brasen sea and pillars, straight bussin.

9When Tou king of Hamath heard how David wrecked Hadarezer's whole army, he was shook.

10He sent his son Hadoram to check on David and give him props for taking down Hadarezer, bringing gold, silver, and brass vibes.

11King David dedicated all that bling to the Lord, including the silver and gold from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.

12Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, took out eighteen thousand Edomites in the salt valley, no cap.

13He set up garrisons in Edom, and now all the Edomites are part of David's squad. The Lord kept David safe wherever he went, periodt.

14David ruled over all Israel, dishing out judgment and justice for his people, goated.

15Joab, son of Zeruiah, was in charge of the army, and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeping the records.

16Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech, son of Abiathar, were the priests; Shavsha was the scribe, just vibing.

17Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was leading the Cherethites and Pelethites; David's sons were all about the king, rizzing up.

1Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

2And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

3And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

4And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6Then David put garrisons in Syria–damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought gifts. Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.

7And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

10He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11Them also king David dedicated unto the Lord, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

13And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.

14So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

16And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

17And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
