2 Samuel 8:13 in Context — 2 Samuel 8

11 Os quais o rei Davi dedicou ao SENHOR, com a prata e o ouro que tinha dedicado de todas as nações que havia submetido:

12 Dos sírios, dos moabitas, dos amonitas, dos filisteus, dos amalequitas, e do despojo de Hadadezer filho de Reobe, rei de Zobá.

13 E ganhou Davi fama quando, voltando da derrota dos sírios, feriu dezoito mil homens no vale do sal.

14 E pôs guarnição em Edom, por toda Edom pôs guarnição; e todos os edomitas foram servos de Davi. E o SENHOR guardou a Davi por de onde quer que fosse.

15 E reinou Davi sobre todo Israel; e fazia Davi direito e justiça a todo seu povo.
