2 Samuel 8:10
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:
Toi, who had been at war with Hadadezer, sent his son Joram to David to greet and honor him after David fought against Hadadezer and struck him down. Joram came bearing vessels of silver and vessels of gold and vessels of bronze. Those victories carried Israel's territory eastward to the Euphrates and brought the Syrian kingdom with its capital Damascus under David's control, though his frontier may not have extended beyond the Euphrates. With the surrounding enemies subdued, the kingdom became powerful and its boundaries were greatly enlarged into a dominion never equaled by his successors.
This triumph belongs to the time when God had given David rest from his enemies round about. That rest formed the setting for his turning to the thought of a permanent house for God. His concern arose because the ark dwelt in a tent while he himself lived in a house of cedar.
