2 Samuel 8:6-12

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.

9When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,

10he sent his son Joram to King David to extend his best wishes and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Toi had been at war with Hadadezer. He brought with him various items made of silver, gold, and bronze.

11King David dedicated these things to the Lord, along with the dedicated silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations that he had subdued,

12including Aram, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amelek. This also included some of the plunder taken from King Hadadezer son of Rehob of Zobah.
