And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.

10 Et il envoya Hadoram, son fils, vers le roi David, pour le saluer et le féliciter de ce qu'il avait combattu Hadarézer, et l'avait défait; car Hadarézer était dans une guerre continuelle avec Thohu. Il envoya aussi toutes sortes de vases d'or, d'argent et d'airain.
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.
