For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass: 11And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued: 12Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba. 13David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand: 14And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about. 15And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people. 16And Joab the son Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder: 17And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe: 18And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes. ‹Previous chapter2 Samuel 7Next chapter2 Samuel 9›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions2 Samuel 8 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
