1 Chr 18:8 Also from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a very large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the bronze utensils.
1 Chr 18:9 ¶ Now when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
1 Chr 18:10 he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless 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.
1 Chr 18:11 King David also dedicated these to the LORD with the silver and the gold which he had carried away from all the nations: from Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, and from Amalek.
1 Chr 18:12 ¶ Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah defeated 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
1 Chr 18:13 Then he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.
1 Chr 18:14 ¶ So David reigned over all Israel; and he administered justice and righteousness for all his people.
1 Chr 18:15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
1 Chr 18:16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was secretary;
1 Chr 18:17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and the sons of David were chiefs at the king's side.
1 Chr 19:1 Now it came about after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son became king in his place.
1 Chr 19:2 Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun to console him.
1 Chr 19:3 But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David is honoring your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"
1 Chr 19:4 So Hanun took David's servants and shaved them and cut off their garments in the middle as far as their hips, and sent them away.
1 Chr 19:5 Then certain persons went and told David about the men. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then return."
1 Chr 19:6 ¶ When the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent 1,000 talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah and from Zobah.
1 Chr 19:7 So they hired for themselves 32,000 chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. And the sons of Ammon gathered together from their cities and came to battle.
1 Chr 19:8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army, the mighty men.
1 Chr 19:9 The sons of Ammon came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
1 Chr 19:10 ¶ Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and in the rear, he selected from all the choice men of Israel and they arrayed themselves against the Arameans.
