1 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

9 And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
Tou re di Amat, saputo che Davide aveva sconfitto tutto l'esercito di Hadad-Ezer re di Zoba,
10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer had wars with Tou; and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
mandò Adoram suo figlio per salutare il re Davide e per felicitarsi con lui d'avere assalito e vinto Hadad-Ezer, poiché Tou era sempre in guerra con Hadad-Ezer; Adoram portava con sé oggetti d'oro, d'argento e di bronzo.
11 These also did king David dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
