2 Samuel 8:1-6
David’s Triumphs
1 (A)Now after this it came about that David (a)defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took (b)control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines.
2 (B)He (c)defeated (C)Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death and one full line to keep alive. And (D)the Moabites became servants to David, (E)bringing tribute.
3 Then David (d)defeated (F)Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as (G)he went to restore his (e)rule at the (f)River.
4 David captured from him 1,700 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers; and David (H)hamstrung the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots.
5 When (I)the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David (g)killed 22,000 Arameans.
6 Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and (J)the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And (K)the Lord helped David wherever he went.
