3 And David defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah as he went to recover his hand at the River.

4 And David took from him a thousand chariots and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And David hamstrung every chariot horse, and he spared of them a hundred chariots.

5 And the Arameans of Damascus came to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David struck Aram—twenty-two thousand men.

6 And David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram became servants of David and brought tribute. And YHWH preserved David everywhere he went.

7 And David took the shields of gold that belonged to the servants of Hadadezer, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

8 And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
