What kind of tribute did the Arameans give to David?

2 Samuel 8:6 (ESV)

6 Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. And the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

We are not given specific details of the kind of tribute which the Arameans gave to David. In the ancient Near East, tribute typically included valuable goods such as gold, silver, bronze, livestock, and other agricultural products.
