2 Samuel 8:3-8 ▼

3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his control at the Euphrates River.

4 David captured seventeen hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers from him, and he hamstrung all the horses and kept a hundred chariots.

5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to assist King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand Aramean men.

6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and brought tribute. The LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

7 David took the gold shields of Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 King David also took huge quantities of bronze from Betah and Berothai, Hadadezer’s cities.
