Tou (biblical figure)

King Tou or Toi is the name of a biblical king of Hamath, an ancient city located in Syria. He is referred to in 2 Samuel 8:9–10 as "Toi" (תעיTō‘î) and 1 Chronicles 18:9–10 as "Tou" (תעוTō‘ū).[1] Both biblical accounts state that Tou paid homage to David, king of Israel, because he had defeated the army of Tou's enemy, Hadadezer, king of Zobah.
