Context — David’s Triumphs
8And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles.
9When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze,
11and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites. 12Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.Cross References

1 Chronicles 18:10 Summary
This verse tells us that King Tou of Hamath sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for defeating their common enemy, Hadadezer. Hadoram brought many valuable gifts, including gold, silver, and bronze articles, to establish a peaceful relationship with King David. This shows us the importance of seeking peace and forming alliances with others, as encouraged in Psalm 34:14 and Romans 12:18. By following King Tou's example, we can learn to humble ourselves and seek to establish positive relationships with those around us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did King Tou of Hamath send his son Hadoram to greet King David?
King Tou sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou, as a sign of peace and friendship, similar to the way King Solomon later made peace with Hiram of Tyre in 1 Kings 5:1-12.
What kind of articles did Hadoram bring to King David?
Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold, silver, and bronze to King David, which were likely treasures and gifts to establish a peaceful relationship, as seen in other biblical accounts of gift-giving, such as in 1 Samuel 10:27.
Is this the same Hadoram mentioned in other parts of the Bible?
While there may be other individuals named Hadoram in the Bible, this specific Hadoram is the son of King Tou of Hamath, and his visit to King David is a unique event in 1 Chronicles 18:10, although the name Hadoram is also mentioned in 2 Samuel 10:16 and 1 Kings 19:15-17 in different contexts.
What can we learn from King Tou's actions in this verse?
King Tou's actions demonstrate the importance of seeking peace and forming alliances with other nations, as encouraged in Proverbs 27:9 and Psalm 133:1, and his decision to send his son to greet King David shows a willingness to humble himself and establish a positive relationship.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways we can demonstrate peace and friendship to those around us, just like King Tou did with King David?
- How can we use our resources and gifts to bless and honor others, as Hadoram did when he brought articles of gold, silver, and bronze to King David?
- What are some lessons we can learn from King David's experiences with other nations, and how can we apply those lessons to our own relationships with others?
- In what ways can we seek to establish peaceful relationships with those who may have been our enemies in the past, just like King Tou and King David did in this verse?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 18:10
He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 18:10
(10) He sent.—Heb., and he sent.Hadoram.—Samuel, “and Toi sent Joram” (LXX., “Jeddûram”). Vulg., “Adoram;” but Syriac and Arabic, “Joram.” Hadoram, or Adoram (Hadar or Adar, is high), seems right; but Joram, i.e., Jehoram (Jehovah is high), may be correct, for it appears from an inscription of Sargon that the God of Israel was not unknown to the Hamathites. Sargon calls their king Iahu-bihdi.To congratulate.—Bless—i.e., pronounce him happy. Had war with Tou.—A man of wars (a foeman) of Tou was Hadadezer.And . . . all manner . . .—Samuel, “and in his hand [were] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold,” &c. The clause is here curtailed.

Cp. the action of Asa (1 Kings 15:18-19) and of Ahaz (2 Kings 16:7-8). In all three cases the policy was the same, i.e. to acknowledge a distant suzerain in order to gain the benefit of a valuable alliance, while losing the minimum of independence.
