2 Samuel 8:3-13

³Then David defeated Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the Euphrates River. ⁴And David captured from him 1,700 horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David hamstrung almost all the chariot horses, but left enough of them for a hundred chariots. ⁵When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand men among the Arameans. ⁶Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the Lord helped David wherever he went. ⁷David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. ⁸And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.

⁹Now when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, ¹⁰Toi sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and bless him, because he had fought Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze. ¹¹King David also consecrated these gifts to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had consecrated from all the nations which he had subdued: ¹²from Aram, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoils of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

¹³So David made a name for himself when he returned from killing eighteen thousand Arameans in the Valley of Salt.
