And David beat Hadadezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to bring his dominion unto the river Euphrates.

Then came the Syrians of Damascus to help Hadadezer king of Zobah. And David slew of the Syrians twenty two thousand,

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

And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, brought David exceeding much brass. Wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea and the pillars and the vessels of brass.

And when Thou king of Hamath, heard how David had beat all the host of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him and to bless him, because he had fought with Hadadezer and beaten him - for Thou had war with Hadadezer - and sent all manner of Jewels of gold, silver and brass with him.

And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse of Israel, they sent messengers and fetched out the Syrians that are beyond the river with Shophach the Captain of the host of Hadadezer before them.

And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were put to the worse of Israel, they made peace with David and served him. Neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon anymore.
