9. When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10. he sent his son Hadoram to wish King David well and to congratulate him on having waged a victorious war against Hadadezer; for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. He also brought gold, silver and bronze articles of every sort.
11. These also King David consecrated to the Lord along with all the silver and gold that he had taken from the nations: from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12. Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, also defeated eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13. He set up garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s subjects. Thus the Lord brought David victory in all his undertakings.
14. David was king over all Israel; he dispensed justice and right to all his people.
