1 Ch. 18: David Wins

1 Chronicles 18:6 "He put garrisons in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to him and brought tribute. The LORD gave David victory everywhere he went."

This is an in-game reset of 2 Samuel 8 (entry).  There's a little less detail, such as the killing of 1 of every 3 Moabites is not mentioned here.

We're talking here about David's military victories over Philistines and Edomites et al. 

As the LORD gave David victory over these nations, David gave glory to God, and turned over all the booty to the LORD. It was as if God was extracting tribute from these other nations through Israel. Right?
