-
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

-
8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
-
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
-
10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
-

-
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
-
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
-
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
-
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
-
16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
-
