2 Samuel 8:2-14

2 1And He 2defeated 3Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and a full line to keep alive. And 4the Moabites became servants to David, 5bringing tribute.

3Then David 6defeated 7Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as 8he went to restore his 9power at the Euphrates River. 4And David captured from him 101,700 horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David 11hamstrung almost all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for a hundred chariots. 5When 12the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David 13killed twenty-two thousand men among the Arameans. 6Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and 14the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And 15the Lord helped David wherever he went. 7David took the shields of gold which were 16carried by the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8And from 17Betah and 18Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.

9Now when Toi king of 19Hamath heard that David had 20defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, 10Toi sent his son 21Joram to King David to 22greet him and bless him, because he had fought Hadadezer and 23defeated him; for Hadadezer 24had been at war with Toi. And 25Joram brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze. 11King David also 26consecrated these gifts to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had consecrated from all the nations which he had subdued: 12from 27Aram, 28Moab, 29the sons of Ammon, 30the Philistines, 31Amalek, and from the spoils of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13So 32David made a name for himself when he returned from 33killing eighteen thousand 34Arameans in 35the Valley of Salt. 14He also put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put garrisons, and 36all the Edomites became servants to David. And 37the Lord helped David wherever he went.
