Where Toi appears in Scripture

2 Samuel 8

וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעִי מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִד אֵת כָּל-חֵיל הֲדַדְעָֽזֶר׃
9
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
וַיִּשְׁלַח תֹּעִי אֶת-יֽוֹרָם-בְּנוֹ אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ-דָּוִד לִשְׁאָל-לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם וּֽלְבָרֲכוֹ עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי-אִישׁ מִלְחֲמוֹת תֹּעִי הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וּבְיָדוֹ הָיוּ כְּלֵי-כֶסֶף וּכְלֵֽי-זָהָב וּכְלֵי נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
10
Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

1 Chronicles 18

וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעוּ מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִיד אֶת-כָּל-חֵיל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָֽה׃
9
Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת-הֲדֽוֹרָם-בְּנוֹ אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ-דָּוִיד ‫(לשאול)‬ לִשְׁאָל-לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם וּֽלְבָרֲכוֹ עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי-אִישׁ מִלְחֲמוֹת תֹּעוּ הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וְכֹל כְּלֵי זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּנְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
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 manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
