All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying,“ The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem,“ Get up. We have to flee, or we will not escape from Absalom! Leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us, heap disaster on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

After this, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from Philistine control.He also defeated the Moabites, and after making them lie down on the ground, he measured them off with a cord. He measured every two cord lengths of those to be put to death and one length of those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who went to restore his control at the Euphrates River.David captured 1,700 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers from him, and he hamstrung all the horses and kept 100 chariots.When the Arameans of Damascus came to assist King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down 22,000 Aramean men.Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and brought tribute. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.David took the gold shields of Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem.King David also took huge quantities of bronze from Betah and Berothai, Hadadezer’s cities.When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and to congratulate him because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Toi and Hadadezer had fought many wars. Joram had items of silver, gold, and bronze with him.King David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, the Amalekites, and the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.David made a reputation for himself when he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.

Then Saul replied,“ Say this to David:‘ The king desires no other bride-price except 100 Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Actually, Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.

David marched out with the army and was successful in everything Saul sent him to do. Saul put him in command of the soldiers, which pleased all the people and Saul’s servants as well.As the troops were coming back, when David was returning from killing the Philistine, the women came out from all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul, singing and dancing with tambourines, with shouts of joy, and with three-stringed instruments.As they celebrated, the women sang: Saul has killed his thousands, but David his tens of thousands.

Then the man replied,“ The woman You gave to be with me— she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.”So the Lord God asked the woman,“ What is this you have done?” And the woman said,“ It was the serpent. He deceived me, and I ate.”

But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t brag and deny the truth.Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.

He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the Lord brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”

So I said to them,‘ Whoever has gold, take it off,’ and they gave it to me. When I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”

David defeated the Philistine with a sling and a stone. Even though David had no sword, he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated them there and said,“ Like a bursting flood, the Lord has burst out against my enemies before me.” Therefore, he named that place the Lord Bursts Out.
