2 Samuel 8:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ Tou was king of Hamath. He heard that David had won the battle over the entire army of Hadadezer. ¹⁰ So Tou sent his son Joram to King David. Joram greeted David. He praised David because he had won the battle over Hadadezer. Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. So Joram brought with him gifts made out of silver, of gold and of bronze.

¹¹ King David set those gifts apart for the Lord. He had done the same thing with the silver and gold he had taken from the other nations. Those were nations he had brought under his control.
