1Ch 18:9Now when [fn]Tou king of Hamath heard that David had [fn]defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
1Ch 18:10he sent [fn]Hadoram his son to King David to [fn]greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had [fn]defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. And Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze.
