And when all the kings that were servants to H1928 saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.

And David smote H1928 king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help H1928 king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of H1928, and brought them to Jerusalem.

Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of H1928, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of H1928 king of Zobah;

He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against H1928, and smitten him; (for H1928 had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of H1928 went before them.

And when the servants of H1928 saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
