2 Samuel 8:9-12

9When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,

10he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.

11King David dedicated these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued:

12Edom and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek. He also dedicated the plunder taken from Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
