BRAGADAYJAH 928

David Had to Fight another War.

Then it came to pass that David was forced to fight against the Philistines and his enemies once again. Perhaps it was the Lord’s way of occupying David’s mind with what came natural to him, to fight against and subdue his enemies.  He was sulking before the Lord over the Lord’s rejection of his offer to build the Lord a house; so then “Go fight against the Philistines,” was perhaps the Lord’s way of dealing with David.  So David subdued the Philistines and took Methegammah away from the Philistines. Then he went on to smite Moab, and measured them with a line and casting them down to the ground. In dealing with the Moabites David did not destroy them utterly but spared one third of them; therefore they became David’s servants and brought him gifts. Then David smote 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, seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen.  And David destroyed all the chariot’s horses, except sufficient for a hundred chariots. And when the Syrians of Damascus came to aid Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians, twenty two thousands of them. And David garrisoned in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became servants to David and brought him gifts. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
