5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to aid Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.
6Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became David's servants and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
7And David took the golden shields that were on the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a great amount of bronze.
9When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
10Then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, articles of gold, and articles of bronze.
11These king David also dedicated to the LORD, along with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued:
12From Syria, Moab, the children of Ammon, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
