5. And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer Melech Tzovah, Dovid slaughtered of the Syrians 22,000 ish.
6. Then Dovid put garrisons in Aram Damascus; and the Syrians became Dovid's avadim (subjects), bearing minchah (tribute). Thus Hashem saved Dovid wherever he went.
7. And Dovid took the shields of zahav that were on avadim of Hadadezer, and brought them to Yerushalayim.
8. Likewise from Tivchat, and from Kun, towns of Hadadezer, Dovid took very much nechoshet, wherewith Sh'lomo made the Yam HaNechoshet, and the Ammudim, and the kelei hanechoshet.
9. Now when To'u Melech Chamat heard how Dovid had struck down the whole army of Hadadezer Melech Tzovah,
10. He sent Hadoram bno to HaMelech Dovid, to give him a shalom greeting, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and struck him down (for Hadadezer was an ish milchamah often against To'u); and he sent all manner kelim zahav, kesef and nechoshet.
11. Them also Dovid HaMelech dedicated as kodesh unto Hashem, with the kesef and the zahav that he brought from all these Goyim; from Edom, and from Moav, and from the Bnei Ammon, and from the Pelishtim, and from Amalek.
