1 Chronicles 18
Verse 1
Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took 1 Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
Which calls the bridle of bondage, because it was a strong town and kept the country around it in subjection.

Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD 1 preserved David whithersoever he went.
That is in all things that he attempted.

He sent 1 Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him;
and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
Called also Joram
Verse 11
Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from 1 Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
Because the Edomites and the Syrians joined their power together, it is said, that the Amramites were spoiled.
