9. When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10. he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to ask about his health and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had often been at war with Tou. And he sent all sorts of articles of gold, of silver, and of bronze.
11. These also King David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had carried off from all the nations, from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12. And Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, killed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13. Then he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.
14. So David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and equity to all his people.
15. And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
16. and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; and Shavsha was secretary;
