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

While David was king of Israel, he won many battles over the Philistines. He brought them under his control. He took Metheg Ammah away from them.

After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

After this, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from Philistine control.

Now it happened afterward that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines.

After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.

And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines.

After this, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from Philistine control.

And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

Later David defeated the Philistines and subdued them. David took Metheg Ammah from the Philistines.

After this, David struck the Philistines and subdued them; and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines.

After this, David defeated and subdued the Philistines by conquering Gath and its surrounding towns.David also conquered the land of Moab, and the Moabites who were spared became David’s subjects and paid him tribute money.David also destroyed the forces of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, as far as Hamath, when Hadadezer marched out to strengthen his control along the Euphrates River.David captured 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. He crippled all the chariot horses except enough for 100 chariots.When Arameans from Damascus arrived to help King Hadadezer, David killed 22,000 of them.Then he placed several army garrisons in Damascus, the Aramean capital, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and paid him tribute money. So the Lord made David victorious wherever he went.David brought the gold shields of Hadadezer’s officers to Jerusalem,along with a large amount of bronze from Hadadezer’s towns of Tebah and Cun. Later Solomon melted the bronze and molded it into the great bronze basin called the Sea, the pillars, and the various bronze articles used at the Temple.When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had destroyed the entire army of King Hadadezer of Zobah,he sent his son Joram to congratulate King David for his successful campaign. Hadadezer and Toi had been enemies and were often at war. Joram presented David with many gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.King David dedicated all these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from the other nations— from Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, and Amalek.Abishai son of Zeruiah destroyed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.He placed army garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s subjects. In fact, the Lord made David victorious wherever he went.So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people.Joab son of Zeruiah was commander of the army. Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the royal historian.Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were the priests. Seraiah was the court secretary.Benaiah son of Jehoiada was captain of the king’s bodyguard. And David’s sons served as the king’s chief assistants.

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before your eyes. Now I will make your name as famous as anyone who has ever lived on the earth!

When Joab and Abishai found out what had happened, they set out after Abner. The sun was just going down as they arrived at the hill of Ammah near Giah, along the road to the wilderness of Gibeon.

Once again the Philistines were at war with Israel. And when David and his men were in the thick of battle, David became weak and exhausted.Ishbi benob was a descendant of the giants; his bronze spearhead weighed more than seven pounds, and he was armed with a new sword. He had cornered David and was about to kill him.But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue and killed the Philistine. Then David’s men declared,“ You are not going out to battle with us again! Why risk snuffing out the light of Israel?”After this, there was another battle against the Philistines at Gob. As they fought, Sibbecai from Hushah killed Saph, another descendant of the giants.During another battle at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair from Bethlehem killed the brother of Goliath of Gath. The handle of his spear was as thick as a weaver’s beam!In another battle with the Philistines at Gath, they encountered a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty four in all, who was also a descendant of the giants.But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan, the son of David’s brother Shimea.These four Philistines were descendants of the giants of Gath, but David and his warriors killed them.
