2 Samuel 8:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ When troops from the Aramean kingdom of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, David killed 22,000 of them. ⁶ He left some of his soldiers in Damascus, and the Arameans had to accept David as their ruler and pay taxes to him.

Everywhere David went, the Lord helped him win battles.

⁷ Hadadezer's officers had carried their arrows in gold cases hung over their shoulders, but David took these cases^[a] and brought them to Jerusalem.
