81 Now after this it came about that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines . 2 He defeated 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 the Moabites became servants to David , bringing tribute . 3 Then David defeated Hadadezer , the son of Rehob king of Zobah , as he went to restore his rule at the River . 4 David captured from him 1,700 e e horsemen and 20,000 e foot soldiers e ; and David hamstrung the chariot horses , but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots . 5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer , king of Zobah , David killed 22,000 e e Arameans . 6 Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus , and the Arameans became servants to David , bringing tribute . And the Lord helped David wherever e he went . 7 David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem . 8 From Betah and from Berothai , cities of Hadadezer , King David took a very large amount of bronze .
9 Now when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer , 10 Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet e him and bless him, because e he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi . And Joram brought with him articles of silver , of gold and of bronze . 11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord , with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations which he had subdued : 12 from Aram and Moab and the sons of Ammon and the Philistines and Amalek , and from the spoil of Hadadezer , son of Rehob , king of Zobah . 13 So David made a name for himself when he returned from killing 18,000 e e Arameans in the Valley of Salt . 14 He put garrisons in Edom . In all Edom he put garrisons , and all the Edomites became servants to David . And the Lord helped David wherever e he went .
15 So David reigned over all Israel ; and David administered justice and righteousness for all his people . 16 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army , and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder . 17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests , and Seraiah was secretary . 18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites ; and David's sons were chief ministers .
91 Then David said , "Is there yet anyone left of the house of Saul , that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake ?" 2 Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba , and they called him to David ; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba ?" And he said , "I am your servant ." 3 The king said , "Is there not yet anyone of the house of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God ?" And Ziba said to the king , " There is still a son of Jonathan who is crippled in both feet ." 4 So the king said to him, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king , "Behold , he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lo-debar ." 5 Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel , from Lo-debar . 6 Mephibosheth , the son of Jonathan the son of Saul , came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said , "Mephibosheth ." And he said , "Here is your servant !" 7 David said to him, "Do not fear , for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan , and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul ; and you shall eat at my table regularly ." 8 Again he prostrated himself and said , "What is your servant , that you should regard a dead dog like me?"
9 Then the king called Saul's servant Ziba and said to him, " All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's grandson . 10 "You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master's grandson may have food ; nevertheless Mephibosheth your master's grandson shall eat at my table regularly ." Now Ziba had fifteen e sons and twenty servants . 11 Then Ziba said to the king , "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant so your servant will do ." So Mephibosheth ate at David's table as one of the king's sons . 12 Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica . And all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth . 13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem , for he ate at the king's table regularly . Now he was lame in both feet .
181 Now after this it came about that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines . 2 He defeated Moab , and the Moabites became servants to David , bringing tribute . 3 David also defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath , as he went to establish his rule to the Euphrates River . 4 David took from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 e horsemen and 20,000 e foot soldiers e , and David hamstrung all the chariot horses , but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots . 5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah , David killed 22,000 e e men of the Arameans . 6 Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus ; and the Arameans became servants to David , bringing tribute . And the Lord helped David wherever e he went . 7 David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem . 8 Also from Tibhath and from Cun , cities of Hadadezer , David took a very large amount of bronze , with which Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the bronze utensils .
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah , 10 he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet e him and to bless him, because e he had fought against Hadadezer and had defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou . And Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze . 11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord with the silver and the gold which he had carried away from all the nations : from Edom , Moab , the sons of Ammon , the Philistines , and from Amalek . 12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah defeated 18,000 e e Edomites in the Valley of Salt . 13 Then he put garrisons in Edom , and all the Edomites became servants to David . And the Lord helped David wherever e he went .
14 So David reigned over all Israel ; and he administered justice and righteousness for all his people . 15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army , and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder ; 16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests , and Shavsha was secretary ; 17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites , and the sons of David were chiefs at the king's side .
