Context — David’s Triumphs
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. 13He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.Cross References

1 Chronicles 18:11 Summary
[King David gave the silver and gold he took from the nations he defeated to the LORD, recognizing that God was the one who gave him the victory. This shows that King David knew that everything he had belonged to God, and he wanted to honor Him with his possessions, just like we are taught in Psalm 50:10-12 and Haggai 2:8. King David's example encourages us to be good stewards of what God has given us, using it to glorify Him and further His kingdom, as seen in Matthew 6:19-21 and 1 Timothy 6:17-19.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 18:11
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 18:11
(11) He brought.—Samuel, “dedicated.” Chronicles avoids the tautology. These nations.—The nations—scil., “whom he had reduced” (Samuel). From Edom.—Samuel, “from Aram,” but LXX., Syriac, and Arabic, “Edom;” (Targum and Vulg., “Aram”). All the versions read “Edom” here, which appears correct. Edom and Moab were conterminous, and the reference includes all the nations whom David conquered and despoiled. And from Amalek may refer to 1 Samuel 30:16, seq., but more probably to an unrecorded campaign. Samuel adds, “and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah,” which Chronicles omits, as implied already in 1 Chronicles 18:7-8.
