King '''Tou''' or '''Toi''' is the name of a king of [[Hama]]th, a city located in [[Syria]]. He is only mentioned in [[Books of Chronicles|1 Chronicles]] 18:9-10. ==Biblical text(KJV)== <small><font color=#0000FF>9</font color></small> Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; <small><font color=#0000FF>10</font color></small> He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire 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 manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. ===Source=== [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible%2C_King_James%2C_1_Chronicles#Chapter_18 Wikisource] ==Analysis== The text tells that King [[David]] successfully defeated an enemy of Tou's, [[Hadadezer bar Rehob|Hadarezer]], the king of [[Zobah]]. To congratulate David (and remind him that he was friendly to David), he sent his son [[Hadoram]] as an ambassador and with him a (presumably) large tribute, made mostly up of ''vessels of gold and silver and brass''. David added them to the Temple treasury, after [[Dedication|rededicating]] them. [[Category:Hebrew Bible people]]
