| And from Betah and from Bero'thai, cities of Hadade'zer, King David took very much bronze. | |
| When To'i king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadade'zer, | |
| To'i sent his son Joram to King David, to greet him, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Hadade'zer and defeated him; for Hadade'zer had often been at war with To'i. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold, and of bronze; | |
| these also King David dedicated to the LORD, together with the silver and gold which he dedicated from all the nations he subdued, | |
| from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Am'alek, and from the spoil of Hadade'zer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah. | |

| And Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah was over the army; and Jehosh'aphat the son of Ahi'lud was recorder; | |
| and Zadok the son of Ahi'tub and Ahim'elech the son of Abi'athar were priests; and Serai'ah was secretary; | |
| and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was over the Cher'ethites and the Pel'ethites; and David's sons were priests. | |
