F I R S T C H R O N I C L E S CHAP. XVIII. David's piety and his prayer we had an account of in the foregoing chapter; here follows immediately that which one might reasonably expect, an account of his prosperity; for those that seek first the kingdom of God and the righteousness thereof, as David did, shall have other things added to them as far as God sees good for them. Here is, I. His prosperity abroad. He conquered the Philistines ( 1 Chronicles 18:1 ), the Moabites ( 1 Chronicles 18:2 ), the king of Zobah ( 1 Chronicles 18:3 ; 1 Chronicles 18:4 ), the Syrians ( 1 Chronicles 18:5-8 ), made the king of Hamath his tributary ( 1 Chronicles 18:9-11 ), and the Edomites, 1 Chronicles 18:12 ; 1 Chronicles 18:13 . II. His prosperity at home. His court and kingdom flourished, 1 Chronicles 18:14-17 . All this we had an account of before, 2 Samuel 8:1-18 return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-8" class="com-number"
