2 Samuel 8:13

Verse 13 of 18. The 8th of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.

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

10then Toi sent Joram 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 Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.

11King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued—

12of Syria, of Moab, of the children of Ammon, of the Philistines, of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13David earned a reputation when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt.

14He put garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

15David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness for all his people.

16Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder,

17Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, Seraiah was scribe,
