Samuel 8:1-18 -
David Subjugates Nearby Nations
8:1
Later David defeated the Philistines and subdued them. David took Metheg
Ammah from the Philistines. 8:2 He defeated the
Moabites. He made them lie on the ground and then used a rope to measure them off. He put two-thirds of them to death and spared the other third. The Moabites became David's subjects and brought tribute. 8:3 David defeated
King Hadadezer son of
Rehob of Zobah when he came to reestablish his authority over the
Euphrates River. 8:4 David seized from him 1,700 charioteers and 20,
000 infantrymen. David cut the hamstrings of all but a hundred of the chariot horses. 8:5 The
Arameans of
Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, but David killed 22,000 of the Arameans. 8:6 David placed garrisons in the territory of the Arameans of Damascus; the Arameans became David's subjects and brought tribute. The
LORD protected David wherever he campaigned. 8:7 David took the golden shields that belonged to Hadadezer's servants and brought them to
Jerusalem.
8:8 From Tebah and Berothai, Hadadezer's cities,
King David took a great deal of bronze.
8:9 When King Toi of
Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
8:10 he sent his son Joram to King David to extend his best wishes and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Toi had been at war with Hadadezer. He brought with him various items made of silver, gold, and bronze. 8:11 King David dedicated these things to the LORD, along with the dedicated silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations that he had subdued, 8:12 including
Aram,
Moab, the
Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amelek. This also included some of the plunder taken from King Hadadezer son of Rehob of Zobah.
8:13 David became famous when he returned from defeating the Arameans in the
Valley of Salt, he defeated 18,000 in all. 8:14 He placed garrisons throughout
Edom, and all the
Edomites became David's subjects. The LORD protected David wherever he campaigned. 8:15 David reigned over all
Israel; he guaranteed justice for all his people.
