2 Samuel 8:3–10

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

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

⁵When ^athe Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David ¹killed 22,000 Arameans.

⁶Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and ^athe Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And ^bthe Lord helped David wherever he went.

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

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

⁹Now when Toi king of ^aHamath heard that David had ¹defeated all the army of Hadadezer,

¹⁰Toi sent ¹Joram his son to King David to ²greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and ³defeated him; for Hadadezer ⁴had been at war with Toi. And ⁵Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.
