2 Samuel 8:13-15
The Message
13-14 David built a victory monument on his return from defeating the Arameans.
Abishai son of Zeruiah fought and defeated the Edomites in the Salt Valley. Eighteen thousand of them were killed. David set up a puppet government in Edom, and the Edomites became subjects under David.
God gave David victory wherever he marched.
15 Thus David ruled over all of Israel. He ruled well—fair and evenhanded in all his duties and relationships.
