11 King David dedicated these things to the Lord,[a] along with the dedicated silver and gold that he had taken from[b] all the nations that he had subdued, 12 including[c] Edom,[d] Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek. This also included some of the plunder taken from[e] King Hadadezer son of Rehob of Zobah.
