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 From [f]Betah and from (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 all the army of Hadadezer, 10 Toi sent [h]Joram his son to King David to [i]greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and [j]defeated him; for Hadadezer [k]had been at war with Toi. And [l]Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.
