1 Chronicles 18:9-17 ▼

9 And Tou king of Hamath hears that David has struck the whole force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,

10 and he sends his son Hadoram to King David, to ask of him of peace, and to bless him, because that he has fought against Hadarezer and strikes him (for Hadarezer had been a man of wars with Tou); and [with him were] all kinds of vessels, of gold, and silver, and bronze;

11 King David has also sanctified them to YHWH with the silver and the gold that he has taken from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 And Abishai son of Zeruiah has struck Edom in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand,

13 and he puts garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.

14 And David reigns over all Israel, and he is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,

15 and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,

16 and Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar [are] priests, and Shavsha [is] scribe,

17 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the chief sons of David [are] at the hand of the king.
