In 1110 the Georgians led by George of Chqondidi, his nephew Theodore, Abuleti and Ivane Orbelian, retaliated against the Seljuk settlement and recaptured the town of Samshvilde, a heavily fortified town of great symbolic importance, and then liberating the Kura and Iori valleys.

[3] In response to this double defeat, in 1110 Sultan Muhammad I Tapar sent an army of 1,000 soldiers to invade Georgia.

As a result, events unfolded exactly as described in the treatise: the Georgians gained an obvious moral advantage and the Seljuks, exhausted by the long march, were forced to fight in an unfavourable position.

[6] The Battle of Trialeti deprived the Seljuk Empire of the opportunity to conduct a major military campaign against Georgia.

After that, David became active again and in 1115-1118 he captured Rustavi,[2][4]Lori,[2] and Agarani[7] and also defeated the Seljuks at the Battle of Rakhsi.
