II Samuel 8:9

And Thou, the king of Emath, heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.

Emath, or Emesa. Its king, Thou, being alarmed at the ambition of his neighbour Adarezer, (Calmet) was pleased with the victories of a prince from whom he thought he had less to fear, as he lived at a greater distance. (Haydock)
