9 When Hamath’s King Toi heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
10 he sent his son Joram to King David to wish him well and congratulate him on his battle and defeat of Hadadezer, because Toi was an enemy of Hadadezer. Joram brought silver, gold, and bronze objects with him.
11 King David dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations that he had subdued:
12 Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek, including the plunder of Zobah’s King Hadadezer, Rehob’s son.
13 So David made a name for himself. When he returned, he killed eighteen thousand Edomites in the Salt Valley.
14 He set up forts in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s subjects. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.
15 David ruled over all Israel and maintained justice and righteousness for all his people.
