2 Samuel 8:3–10

³Then David struck ^aHadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as ^bhe went to restore his ¹power at the ²River.

⁴And David captured from him 1,700 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers; and David ^ahamstrung all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for 100 chariots.

⁵Then ^athe Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah. And David struck down 22,000 Arameans.

⁶Then David placed garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus; and ^athe Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And ^bYahweh granted salvation to David wherever he went.

⁷And David took the small shields of gold which were ¹carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

⁸Also from ¹Betah and from ^aBerothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.

⁹Then Toi king of ^aHamath heard that David had struck down all the military force of Hadadezer,

¹⁰so Toi sent ¹Joram his son to King David to ²greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him down; for Hadadezer ³had been at war with Toi. And in ⁴Joram’s hand were articles of silver, of gold, and of bronze.
