6 Then he set up military camps in their territory, and they became his subjects and paid taxes to him. The Lord made David victorious everywhere.
7 David captured the gold shields carried by Hadadezer's officials and took them to Jerusalem.
8 He also took a great quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, cities ruled by Hadadezer.
9 King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated all of Hadadezer's army.
10 So he sent his son Joram to greet King David and congratulate him on his victory over Hadadezer, against whom Toi had fought many times. Joram took David presents made of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 King David dedicated them for use in worship, along with the silver and gold he took from the nations he had conquered —
12 Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, and Amalek — as well as part of the loot he had taken from Hadadezer.
