2 Samuel 8:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ So David became very famous. After his return he destroyed eighteen thousand Edomites^[a] in Salt Valley, ¹⁴ and then placed garrisons throughout Edom, so that the entire nation was forced to pay tribute to Israel—another example of the way the Lord made him victorious wherever he went.

¹⁵ David reigned with justice over Israel and was fair to everyone.
