2 - And he smote Moab - ; and the Moabites became David - 's servants, and brought gifts.
3 - And David - smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates - .

7 - And David - took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem - .
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.
