3 David (beloved) also defeated Hadadezer (Hadad is help) son of Rehob (broad place), king of Zobah (station), who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River [along the River]. 4 David (beloved) captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers [captured from him seventeen hundred charioteers], and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots. 5 When the Arameans (exalted) of Damascus (well-watered land) came to help King Hadadezer (Hadad is help) of Zobah (station), David (beloved) struck down twenty-two thousand of their men. 6 Then he (beloved) placed garrisons in Aram (exalted) of Damascus (well-watered land), and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD {YHWH} made David victorious wherever he went. 7 And David (beloved) took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer (Hadad is help) and brought them to Jerusalem (city of peace). 8 And from Betah [Tebah] and Berothai (cypress grove), cities of Hadadezer (Hadad is help), King David (beloved) took a large amount of bronze. 2 Samuel 8:3-8, Berean Annotated Bible.
