David's Victories

In the course of time,
David defeated the Philistines and subdued them,
and he took Metheg Ammah
from the control of the Philistines.

David also defeated the Moabites.

. . . Moreover David fought Hadadezer
son of Rehob, king of Zobah,
when he went to restore his control
along the Euphrates River.

. . . When the Arameans of Damascus
came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah,
David struck down twenty-two thousand of them.

. . . And David became famous
after he returned from striking down
eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

He put garrisons throughout Edom,
and all the Edomites became subject to David.
The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.

(II Samuel 8:1-2, 3, 5, 13-14)
