He made the prisoners lie on the ground and measured them off with a cord: two lengths were put to death and one length spared. The Moabites became David's subjects and brought him tribute. David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when Hadadezer went to restore his control along the Euphrates River.

From Hadadezer's towns of Betah and Berothai, King David took a vast amount of bronze. When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated Hadadezer's entire army, he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on defeating Hadadezer, who had often been at war with Tou. Joram brought articles of silver, gold and bronze. King David dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued: Aram, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and the plunder taken from Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah. David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Arameans in the Valley of Salt. He stationed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became his subjects. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.
And after this David struck the Philistines and brought them down. And David took Metheg Ammah out of the hand of the Philistines. And he struck Moab and measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground. And he measured two lines to put to death and one full line to keep alive.

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. And from Betah and from Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took very plenty of bronze. When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer, then Tou sent Joram his son to King David, to ask him how he was and to bless him — because he'd fought Hadadezer and struck him. Because Hadadezer had had wars with Tou. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver and vessels of gold and vessels of bronze. King David set these apart to the Lord too, with the silver and gold he'd set apart of all nations he'd brought under — of Aram and of Moab and of the sons of Ammon and of the Philistines and of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass. When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer, Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass: Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
