2 Samuel 8:5-8

5The Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, but David killed 22,000 of the Arameans.

6David placed garrisons in the territory of the Arameans of Damascus; the Arameans became David’s subjects and brought tribute. The Lord protected David wherever he campaigned.

7David took the golden shields that belonged to Hadadezer’s servants and brought them to Jerusalem.

8From Tebah and Berothai, Hadadezer’s cities, King David took a great deal of bronze.
