David took the shields of gold that had belonged to Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
Then David put groups of soldiers in Damascus in Aram. The Arameans became David’s servants and gave him the payment he demanded. The Lord gave David victory everywhere he went.
David also took many things made of bronze from Tebah and Berothai, which had been cities under Hadadezer’s control.
He gave the commanders the spears and shields that had belonged to King David and that were kept in the Temple of the Lord.
