hundred of the chariot horses.

Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand of them.

2SA 8:6  He put garrisons in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the 
Arameans became subject to him and brought tribute. The LORD gave David 
victory wherever he went.

Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

2SA 8:8  From Tebah and Berothai, towns that belonged to Hadadezer, King

2SA 8:9  When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire 
army of Hadadezer,

2SA 8:10  he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and congratulate 
him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. 
Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze.

2SA 8:11  King David dedicated these articles to the LORD, as he had done 
with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued:

2SA 8:12  Edom and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek. He 
also dedicated the plunder taken from Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of 
Zobah.

2SA 8:13  And David became famous after he returned from striking down 
eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

regrouped.

2SA 10:16  Hadadezer had Arameans brought from beyond the River; they went 
to Helam, with Shobach the commander of Hadadezer's army leading them.

2SA 10:17  When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel, crossed the 
Jordan and went to Helam. The Arameans formed their battle lines to meet 
David and fought against him.

2SA 10:18  But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of 
their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also struck 
down Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.

2SA 10:19  When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they 
had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with the Israelites and became 
subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.

to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram Naharaim, Aram Maacah and Zobah.

1CH 19:7  They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and charioteers, as well 
as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba, 
while the Ammonites were mustered from their towns and moved out for 
battle.

1CH 19:8  On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of 
fighting men.

entrance to their city, while the kings who had come were by themselves in 
the open country.

him; so he selected some of the best troops in Israel and deployed them 
against the Arameans.

to rescue me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will 
rescue you.

1CH 19:13  Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities 
of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight."

Arameans, and they fled before him.
