These war records describe how David expanded his kingdom by conquering:
The Philistines (1 Chronicles 18:1)
Moab (1 Chronicles 18:2)
Zobah (1 Chronicles 18:3–4)
Damascus (1 Chronicles 18:5–6)
Edom (1 Chronicles 18:12–13)
They include details about David’s international relations, the treasures he gained, and the tributes he received (1 Chronicles 18:7–11). A common theme is that the Lord gave David victory wherever he went (1 Chronicles 18:6, 13).
