1 Chronicles 18:6-11

6 Then David put garrisons^[a] in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. And the LORD gave victory to David^[b] wherever he went.

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

8 And from ¹Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze. ²With it Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the vessels of bronze.

9 When ³Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, king ⁴of Zobah,

10 he sent his son ⁵Hadoram to King David, to ask about his health and to bless him because he had fought against ⁶Hadadezer and defeated him; for ⁷Hadadezer had often been at war with Tou. And he sent all sorts of articles of gold, of silver, and of bronze.

11 These also King David dedicated to the LORD, together with the silver and gold that he had carried off from all the nations, from ⁸Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
