1 Chronicles 18:13

Verse 13 of 17. The 18th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

9When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

10he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.

11King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

14David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.

15Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

16Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was scribe;

17and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.
