1 Chronicles 18:6-13

6David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus and the Arameans became subject to David and brought tribute. Adonai gave David victory wherever he went.

7David took the gold shields that were on Hadadezer’s servants and brought them to Jerusalem.

8From Tibhath and from Kun, Hadadezer’s cities, David took a very large quantity of bronze, which Solomon used to make the bronze sea, pillars and bronze vessels.

9When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of King Hadadezer of Zobah,

10he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet and bless him because he fought against Hadarezer and defeated him—for Hadadezer had many wars with Tou. He also sent all kinds of articles of gold, silver and bronze.

11King David dedicated these articles to Adonai, along with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations: from Edom and Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines and Amalek.

12Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13Then he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became vassals to David. So Adonai gave David victory wherever he went.
