And the Lord gave victory to David^[c] wherever he went. ⁷ And David took the shields of gold that were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. ⁸ And from ^(E)Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze. ^(F)With it Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the vessels of bronze.
