When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 Mandou Toi seu filho Joram ao rei David, para lhe perguntar como estava, e para lhe dar os parabens por haver pelejado contra Hadadezer, e por o haver ferido (porque Hadadezer de continuo fazia guerra a Toi); e na sua mão trazia vasos de prata, e vasos de oiro, e vasos de bronze,
