9. When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10. he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11. King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12. Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13. He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
14. David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.
15. Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
16. Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; Shavsha was scribe;
