After this, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its surrounding villages from Philistine control.He also defeated the Moabites, and they became David’s subjects and brought tribute.David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah at Hamath when he went to establish his control at the Euphrates River.David captured one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers from him, hamstrung all the horses, and kept a hundred chariots.When the Arameans of Damascus came to assist King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand Aramean men.Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and brought tribute. The LORD made David victorious wherever he went.David took the gold shields carried by Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem.From Tibhath and Cun, Hadadezer’s cities, David also took huge quantities of bronze, from which Solomon made the bronze basin, the pillars, and the bronze articles.When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer of Zobah,he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet him and to congratulate him because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Tou and Hadadezer had fought many wars. Hadoram brought all kinds of gold, silver, and bronze items.King David also dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all the nations— from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and the Amalekites.Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Salt Valley.He put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David.

The Philistines again waged war against Israel. David went down with his soldiers, and they fought the Philistines, but David became exhausted.Then Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of the giant, whose bronze spear weighed about eight pounds and who wore new armor, intended to kill David.But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him,“ You must never again go out with us to battle. You must not extinguish the lamp of Israel.”After this, there was another battle with the Philistines at Gob. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the descendants of the giant.Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath of Gath. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam.At Gath there was still another battle. A huge man was there with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot— twenty-four in all. He, too, was descended from the giant.When he taunted Israel, Jonathan, son of David’s brother Shimei, killed him.These four were descended from the giant in Gath and were killed by David and his soldiers.
