9 When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David to ask about his welfare and to bless him because he fought and defeated Hadadezer (for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou). He sent all kinds of articles of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had carried away from all the surrounding nations, from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 Also Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand men of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
13 He set up garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. Wherever he went, the Lord gave David victory.
14 So David was king over all Israel, and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.
15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the historian.
