5
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6
Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
7
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8
And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took exceeding much brass.
9
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
10
then Toi sent Joram his son unto King David to salute him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver and vessels of gold and vessels of brass,
11
which also King David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued:
12
of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13
And David got him a name when he returned from smiting the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, being eighteen thousand men.
14
And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all those of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
15
And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
