Lyrics
After this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines and subdued them And David took Metheg Ammah out of the hand of the Philistines
And he smote Moab and measured them with a line casting them down to the ground Two lines he measured to put to death and one full line to keep alive And the Moabites became servants to David and brought gifts
David smote also Hadadezer the son of Rehob king of Zobah As he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates
And David took from him a thousand chariots and seven hundred horsemen And twenty thousand footmen and David houghed all the chariot horses But reserved of them for one hundred chariots
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah David smote of the Syrians twenty and two thousand men And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus and the Syrians became servants To David and brought gifts
And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer And brought them to Jerusalem
And from Betah and from Berothai cities of Hadadezer Took king David exceeding much brass
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David To salute him and to bless him
Because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him For Hadadezer had wars with Toi And Joram brought with him vessels of silver and vessels of gold And vessels of brass
Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD With the silver and gold that he had dedicated Of all nations which he subdued Of the Syrians and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon
