And Moab became David’s servants, bearing tribute. 3David struck Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his hand at the river Euphrates. 4David captured from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, and left of them a hundred chariots. 5When Aram of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of Aram twenty two thousand men. 6David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram became David’s servants, bearing tribute.

And in his hand were articles of silver, and articles of gold, and articles of bronze. 11These also King David consecrated to YHWH, with the silver and the gold that he had consecrated from all the nations that he had subdued: 12from Aram, from Moab, from the sons of Ammon, from the Philistines, from Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 13David made a name for himself when he returned from striking Aram in the Valley of Salt: eighteen thousand. 14He put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all Edom became servants to David.
