The Lord gave David military victories after bestowing the Davidic covenant, including garrisons in Aram of Damascus
After receiving the Davidic covenant, the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went. David defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the river Euphrates. When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David stuck down 22,000 of their men. Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute.
