Contextual Overview

⁹ Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, ¹⁰ He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass. ¹¹ These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek. ¹² And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt, ¹³ David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went. ¹⁴ So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people. ¹⁵ And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records. ¹⁶ And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe; ¹⁷ And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
