He also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground and he measured them off with a cord; he measured out two lengths of cord for those who were to be put to death, and one length for those to be spared. And the Moabites became tributary vassals of David.

David defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who was then on his way to restore his monument at the Euphrates River.

David took the gold shields carried by Hadadezer’s retinue and brought them to Jerusalem;

and from Betah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a vast amount of copper.

vayyishma to'i melekh khamat ki hikkah david et kol-khel hadadazer

When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,

vayyishlakh to'i et-yoram-beno el-hammelekh-david lishol-lo leshalom ulevarekho al asher nilkham bahadadezer vayyakkehu ki-ish milkhamot to'i hayah hadadazer uveyado hayu kele-khesef ukhele-zahav ukhele nekhoshet

Toi sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and to congratulate him on his military victory over Hadadezer—for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi. [Joram] brought with him objects of silver, gold, and copper.

King David dedicated these to GOD, along with the other silver and gold that he dedicated, [taken] from all the nations he had conquered:

from Edom, Moab, and Ammon; from the Philistines and the Amalekites, and from the plunder of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

vayya'as david shem beshuvo mehakkoto et-aram bege-melakh shemonah asar alef

David gained fame when he returned from defeating Edom, in the Valley of Salt, 18,000 in all.

He stationed garrisons in Edom—he stationed garrisons in all of Edom—and all the Edomites became vassals of David. GOD gave David victory wherever he went.
