⁹ When King Tou of Hamath learned that David had conquered King Hadadezer of Zobah’s entire army, ¹⁰ he sent his son Hadoram to King David to meet and congratulate him, because he had fought against and defeated Hadadezer. Since Hadadezer had often been to war against Tou, he sent all sorts of gold, silver, and bronze goods ¹¹ to King David, which David^[a] also dedicated to the Lord, along with silver and gold that he confiscated from all the surrounding^[b] nations, including Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
