2 Samuel 8:3-8

3Then David 1defeated 2Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as 3he went to restore his 4power at the Euphrates River. 4And David captured from him 51,700 horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David 6hamstrung almost all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for a hundred chariots. 5When 7the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David 8killed twenty-two thousand men among the Arameans. 6Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and 9the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And 10the Lord helped David wherever he went. 7David took the shields of gold which were 11carried by the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8And from 12Betah and 13Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.
