1 Chronicles 18:5-13

When the Arameans (Syrians) of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of the Arameans. Then David put military outposts among the Arameans in Damascus; and the Arameans became David’s servants and brought tribute. Thus the LORD helped David wherever he went. David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. Likewise from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David brought a very large amount of bronze, with which Solomon later made the bronze Sea (large basin), the pillars, and the utensils of bronze. [1 Kin 7:13-47; 2 Chr 4:2-18] When Tou king of Hamath heard how David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah, he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless (congratulate) him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. And Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze. King David also dedicated these to the LORD [setting them apart for sacred use], with the silver and the gold which he brought from all the nations: from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and from Amalek. Also Abishai the son of Zeruiah [David’s half-sister] defeated 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He put military outposts in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD helped David wherever he went.
