1 In the days that followed, David struck hard at the Philistines - brought them to their knees and took control of the countryside.

3 On his way to restore his sovereignty at the River Euphrates, David next defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob the king of Zobah.

4 He captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand cavalry, and twenty thousand infantry. He hamstrung all the chariot horses, but saved back a hundred.

8 He also looted a great quantity of bronze from Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer.

9 Toi, king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire army of Hadadezer.

10 So he sent his son Joram to King David to greet and congratulate him for fighting and defeating them, for Toi and Hadadezer were old enemies. He brought with him gifts of silver, gold, and bronze.

11 King David consecrated these along with the silver and gold from all the nations he had conquered

12 - from Aram, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and from Amalek, along with the plunder from Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.

13 David built a victory monument on his return from defeating the Arameans.
