David Dedicates the Golden Shieldsby emmanuel_higgins

1 Chronicles 18:8

Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

The verse stands within the account of David's work recorded in 1 Chronicles 17-20, which itself forms part of the larger portion extending through 1 Chronicles 4-26. That same record of David's work is also given in Samuel, providing a parallel history of his reign. The record sets forth the organization of his armies, the work he accomplished, his virtues and his mistakes, and God's mercy and guidance toward him.
