"And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute." — 1 Chronicles 18:2 (ASV)
And he brought the ram for the burnt offering
One of the two he was ordered to take, (Leviticus 8:2)
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram ;
as they had done before on the head of the bullock, see (Leviticus 8:14) their right hands, as the Targum of Jonathan, and that at the same time; not first Aaron and then his sons, as a famous grammarian, Aben Ezra makes mention of, thought; but, as he himself says, they laid them on together.
"And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates." — 1 Chronicles 18:3 (ASV)
(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 18:1).

(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 18:1).
"And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men." — 1 Chronicles 18:5 (ASV)
(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 18:1).
