From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hadadezer
      Hadad is help; called also Hadarezer, Adod is his help, the king
      of Zobah. Hanun, the king of the Ammonites, hired among others
      the army of Hadadezer to assist him in his war against David.
      Joab, who was sent against this confederate host, found them in
      double battle array, the Ammonities toward their capital of
      Rabbah, and the Syrian mercenaries near Medeba. In the battle
      which was fought the Syrians were scattered, and the Ammonites
      in alarm fled into their capital. After this Hadadezer went
      north "to recover his border" (2 Sam. 8:3, A.V.); but rather, as
      the Revised Version renders, "to recover his dominion", i.e., to
      recruit his forces. Then followed another battle with the Syrian
      army thus recruited, which resulted in its being totally routed
      at Helam (2 Sam. 10:17). Shobach, the leader of the Syrian army,
      died on the field of battle. The Syrians of Damascus, who had
      come to help Hadadezer, were also routed, and Damascus was made
      tributary to David. All the spoils taken in this war, "shields
      of gold" and "very much brass," from which afterwards the
      "brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass" for the
      temple were made (1 Chr. 18:8), were brought to Jerusalem and
      dedicated to Jehovah. Thus the power of the Ammonites and the
      Syrians was finally broken, and David's empire extended to the
      Euphrates (2 Sam. 10:15-19; 1 Chr. 19:15-19).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hittites
      Palestine and Syria appear to have been originally inhabited by
      three different tribes. (1.) The Semites, living on the east of
      the isthmus of Suez. They were nomadic and pastoral tribes. (2.)
      The Phoenicians, who were merchants and traders; and (3.) the
      Hittites, who were the warlike element of this confederation of
      tribes. They inhabited the whole region between the Euphrates
      and Damascus, their chief cities being Carchemish on the
      Euphrates, and Kadesh, now Tell Neby Mendeh, in the Orontes
      valley, about six miles south of the Lake of Homs. These
      Hittites seem to have risen to great power as a nation, as for a
      long time they were formidable rivals of the Egyptian and
      Assyrian empires. In the book of Joshua they always appear as
      the dominant race to the north of Galilee.
     
         Somewhere about the twenty-third century B.C. the Syrian
      confederation, led probably by the Hittites, arched against
      Lower Egypt, which they took possession of, making Zoan their
      capital. Their rulers were the Hyksos, or shepherd kings. They
      were at length finally driven out of Egypt. Rameses II. sought
      vengeance against the "vile Kheta," as he called them, and
      encountered and defeated them in the great battle of Kadesh,
      four centuries after Abraham. (See {JOSHUA}.)
     
         They are first referred to in Scripture in the history of
      Abraham, who bought from Ephron the Hittite the field and the
      cave of Machpelah (Gen. 15:20: 23:3-18). They were then settled
      at Kirjath-arba. From this tribe Esau took his first two wives
      (26:34; 36:2).
     
         They are afterwards mentioned in the usual way among the
      inhabitants of the Promised Land (Ex. 23:28). They were closely
      allied to the Amorites, and are frequently mentioned along with
      them as inhabiting the mountains of Palestine. When the spies
      entered the land they seem to have occupied with the Amorites
      the mountain region of Judah (Num. 13:29). They took part with
      the other Canaanites against the Israelites (Josh. 9:1; 11:3).
     
         After this there are few references to them in Scripture.
      Mention is made of "Ahimelech the Hittite" (1 Sam. 26:6), and of
      "Uriah the Hittite," one of David's chief officers (2 Sam.
      23:39; 1 Chr. 11:41). In the days of Solomon they were a
      powerful confederation in the north of Syria, and were ruled by
      "kings." They are met with after the Exile still a distinct
      people (Ezra 9:1; comp. Neh. 13:23-28).
     
         The Hebrew merchants exported horses from Egypt not only for
      the kings of Israel, but also for the Hittites (1 Kings 10:28,
      29). From the Egyptian monuments we learn that "the Hittites
      were a people with yellow skins and 'Mongoloid' features, whose
      receding foreheads, oblique eyes, and protruding upper jaws are
      represented as faithfully on their own monuments as they are on
      those of Egypt, so that we cannot accuse the Egyptian artists of
      caricaturing their enemies. The Amorites, on the contrary, were
      a tall and handsome people. They are depicted with white skins,
      blue eyes, and reddish hair, all the characteristics, in fact,
      of the white race" (Sayce's The Hittites). The original seat of
      the Hittite tribes was the mountain ranges of Taurus. They
      belonged to Asia Minor, and not to Syria.
