1 Chronicles 18:9

Verse 9 of 17. The 18th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

5When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

6Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

7David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

9When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

10he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.

11King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
