And (F)the Lord helped David wherever he went. 7 David took the shields of gold which were [e]carried by the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from [f]Betah and (G)Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a very large amount of bronze.

9 Now when Toi king of (H)Hamath heard that David had [g]defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, 10 Toi sent his son [h]Joram to King David to [i]greet him and bless him, because he had fought Hadadezer and [j]defeated him; for Hadadezer [k]had been at war with Toi. And [l]Joram brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze.
