1 Later, David attacked the Philistine people and defeated them. He took Gath and the small towns around it from the Philistines.
2 Then David defeated the country of Moab. So the Moabites became David’s servants. And they brought the payments he demanded from them.
3 David also fought against Hadadezer king of Zobah. David fought Hadadezer’s army all the way to the town of Hamath. He did this because Hadadezer tried to spread his kingdom all the way to the Euphrates River.
4 David took from Hadadezer 1,000 chariots and 7,000 chariot drivers. And he took 20,000 soldiers on foot. David also crippled most of Hadadezer’s horses used for pulling chariots. He saved only 100 of the chariot horses.
5 The Aramean people from Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah. But David killed 22,000 of them.
