13:017:024 Let it even be established, that thy name
may be magnified for
ever,
saying, The lord of hosts is the God of Israel,
even a
God
to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant
be
established
before thee.
13:017:025 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant
that thou wilt build
him
an house: therefore thy servant hath found in
his heart to
pray
before thee.
13:017:026 And now, lord, thou art God, and hast
promised this goodness
unto
thy servant:
13:017:027 Now therefore let it please thee to bless
the house of thy
servant,
that it may be before thee for ever: for thou
blessest,
O lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.
13:018:001 Now 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.
13:018:002 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became
David’s servants,
and
brought gifts.
13:018:003 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah
unto Hamath, as he
went
to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
13:018:004 And 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.
13:018:005 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to
help Hadarezer king
of
Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand
men.
13:018:006 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus;
and the Syrians
became
David’s servants, and brought gifts. Thus
the lord
preserved
David whithersoever he went.
13:018:007 And David took the shields of gold that
were on the servants
of
Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
13:018:008 Likewise 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.
13:018:009 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David
had smitten all
the
host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
13:018:010 He 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.
13:018:011 Them 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.
