Berean Standard Bible
1 Chronicles 18:6-13
6Then he placed garrisons1 in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious2 wherever he went.
7And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8And from Tibhath3 and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles.
9When King Tou4 of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 10he sent his son Hadoram5 to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze, 11and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.
12Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 13He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
