2 Samuel 8:10

10 Toi envió a su hijo Joram al rey David, para saludarlo y bendecirlo, porque había peleado contra Hadad-ezer y lo había derrotado; pues Hadad-ezer había estado en guerra con Toi. Y Joram trajo consigo objetos de plata, de oro y de bronce,

2 Samuel 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 8:10

Then Toi sent Joram his son unto King David
Who is called Hadoram in ( 1 Chronicles 18:10 ) ; though the Syriac and Arabic versions read Joram there:

to salute him:
to inquire of his welfare after his fatigue in the battles he had had with the Moabites and Syrians, and to wish him all happiness and prosperity for the future:

and to bless him;
to congratulate him on his victory, and to wish him success in all after wars he might be engaged in; and particularly to give him thanks for delivering him from so great an enemy as Hadadezer had been to him, as also to bring a present to him, which is sometimes called a blessing; see ( Genesis 33:11 ) ;

because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him;
that is, David had, which had endeared him to Toi:

for Hadadezer had wars with Toi;
was an enemy of his, sought to take his kingdom from him, and had had many battles with him: and though he could not conquer him, he sadly harassed him, being too mighty for him:

and [Joram] brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold,
and vessels of brass;
as a present to David, in gratitude for his deliverance from his enemy by him, and as a token of his homage and subjection to him; at least as a sign that he put himself under his protection, and desired to be his friend and ally. The word "Joram", though not in the Hebrew text, is rightly supplied; for none else can be supposed to bring the present.

2 Samuel 8:10 In-Context

8 Y de Beta y de Berotai, ciudades de Hadad-ezer, el rey David tomó una gran cantidad de bronce.

9 Cuando Toi, rey de Hamat, oyó que David había derrotado a todo el ejército de Hadad-ezer,

10 Toi envió a su hijo Joram al rey David, para saludarlo y bendecirlo, porque había peleado contra Hadad-ezer y lo había derrotado; pues Hadad-ezer había estado en guerra con Toi. Y Joram trajo consigo objetos de plata, de oro y de bronce,

11 que el rey David dedicó también al SEÑOR, junto con la plata y el oro que había dedicado de todas las naciones que él había sometido:

12 de Aram y Moab, de los hijos de Amón, de los filisteos y de Amalec, y del botín de Hadad-ezer, hijo de Rehob, rey de Soba.
