2 Samuel 8:5-8

5When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.

6Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. So the Lord preserved David wherever he went.

7And David took the shields of gold that had belonged to the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8Also from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
