2 Samuel 8:10-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. Toi sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and bless him on account of his fighting with Hadadezer and his defeat of him, for Hadadezer was an opponent of Toi. Joram brought with him implements of silver, gold, and bronze,

11. which King David dedicated to the Lord along with the silver and gold that he dedicated from all of the nations that he had subdued,

12. that is, from Aram, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and the plunder from Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13. So David made a name for himself upon his return from defeating eighteen thousand Arameans in the Valley of Salt.

14. He set up garrisons in Edom. Throughout all of Edom, he set up garrisons, and all of Edom became subject to David. The Lord helped David wherever he went.

15. David reigned over all of Israel, and he administered fair judgments to all of his people.

16. Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was secretary.
