7 et tulit David arma aurea quae habebant servi Adadezer et detulit ea in Hierusalem

8 et de Bete et de Beroth civitatibus Adadezer tulit rex David aes multum nimis
From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.
9 audivit autem Thou rex Emath quod percussisset David omne robur Adadezer

10 et misit Thou Ioram filium suum ad regem David ut salutaret eum congratulans et gratias ageret eo quod expugnasset Adadezer et percussisset eum hostis quippe erat Thou Adadezer et in manu eius erant vasa argentea et vasa aurea et vasa aerea
then Toi sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
11 quae et ipsa sanctificavit rex David Domino cum argento et auro quae sanctificaverat de universis gentibus quas subegerat
