6 Further, David put garrisons+ in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians came to be David’s servants to carry tribute.+ And Jehovah continued to save David wherever he went.+

21 As for Solʹo·mon, he proved to be ruler over all the kingdoms from the River*+ to the land of the Phi·lisʹtines and to the boundary of Egypt. They were bringing gifts and serving Solʹo·mon all the days of his life.+

3 And David went on to strike down Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah+ at Haʹmath+ as he was going his way to set up his control* at the river Eu·phraʹtes.+

15 Further, he made in Jerusalem engines of war, the invention of engineers, that they might come to be upon the towers+ and upon the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones. Consequently his fame+ went out to a great distance, for he was helped wonderfully until he was strong.
