2 Samuel 8:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ The Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. But David struck down 22,000 of them. ⁶ He stationed some soldiers in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus. The people of Aram were brought under his rule. They gave him the gifts he required them to bring him. The Lord helped David win his battles everywhere he went.

⁷ David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer. He brought the shields to Jerusalem.
