大衛就對耶路撒冷所有跟隨他的臣僕說：「起來，我們逃吧！否則，我們來不及逃避押沙龍。要快點離開，免得他很快追上我們，加害於我們，用刀擊殺城裏的人。」

此後，大衛攻打非利士人，制伏了他們。大衛從非利士人手中奪取了京城的治理權。他又攻打摩押人，使他們躺臥在地上，用繩來量，量二繩的殺了，量一繩的活着。摩押人就臣服大衛，向他進貢。利合的兒子瑣巴王哈大底謝往幼發拉底河去，要奪回他的國權，大衛就攻打他，俘擄了他的騎兵一千七百人，步兵二萬人。大衛把所有戰馬的蹄筋砍斷，只留下一百輛戰車。大馬士革的亞蘭人來幫助瑣巴王哈大底謝，大衛殺了亞蘭人二萬二千。於是大衛在大馬士革的亞蘭設立軍營，亞蘭人就臣服大衛，向他進貢。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。大衛奪了哈大底謝臣僕擁有的金盾牌，帶到耶路撒冷。大衛王又從哈大底謝的比他和比羅他二城奪取了許多的銅。哈馬王陀以聽見大衛擊敗哈大底謝的全軍，就派他兒子約蘭到大衛王那裏，向他請安，為他祝福，因他與哈大底謝爭戰，並且擊敗了他；原來哈大底謝與陀以常常爭戰。約蘭手裏帶了金銀銅的器皿來。大衛王把這些器皿分別為聖，連同他制伏各國所分別為聖的金銀，獻給耶和華，就是從亞蘭、摩押、亞捫人、非利士人、亞瑪力人，以及從利合的兒子瑣巴王哈大底謝所掠之物。大衛得了名聲。當他回來的時候，在鹽谷擊殺了一萬八千以東人。大衛在以東設立軍營；他在全以東設立軍營，以東人就都臣服他。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。

掃羅說：「你們要對大衛這樣說：『王不要甚麼聘禮，只要一百非利士人的包皮，好在王的仇敵身上報仇。』」掃羅的意圖是要大衛落在非利士人的手中。

掃羅無論差遣大衛往何處去，他都做事精明。掃羅立他作軍隊的指揮官，眾百姓和掃羅的臣僕都看為美。大衛打死了那非利士人，同眾人回來的時候，婦女們從以色列各城裏出來，歡歡喜喜，打鼓奏樂，唱歌跳舞，迎接掃羅王。眾婦女歡樂唱和，說：「掃羅殺死千千，大衛殺死萬萬。」

那人說：「你賜給我、與我一起的女人，是她把那樹上所出的給我，我就吃了。」耶和華上帝對女人說：「你怎麼會做這種事呢？」女人說：「那蛇引誘我，我就吃了。」

你們心裏若懷着惡毒的嫉妒和自私，就不可自誇，不可說謊話抵擋真理。這樣的智慧不是從上頭下來的，而是屬地上的，屬情慾的，屬鬼魔的。在何處有嫉妒、自私，在何處就有動亂和各樣的壞事。

他拚了命殺那非利士人，並且耶和華為全以色列大施拯救。那時你看見，也很歡喜，現在為何要犯罪，流無辜人的血，無緣無故殺大衛呢？」

我對他們說：『凡有金環的可以摘下來』，他們就給了我。我把金環扔在火中，這牛犢就出來了。」

這樣，大衛用機弦和石子勝了那非利士人，擊中了他，把他殺死；大衛手中沒有刀。

大衛來到巴力‧毗拉心，在那裏擊敗了非利士人。他說：「耶和華在我面前沖破敵人，如水沖破一樣。」因此他稱那地方為巴力‧毗拉心。
