10 sendte han sin sønn Hadoram til kong David for å hilse på ham og ønske ham til lykke, fordi han hadde stridt mot Hadareser og slått ham; for Hadareser hadde jevnlig ført krig mot To'u. Han sendte også alle slags gullkar og sølvkar og kobberkar.
he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.
