2 Samuel 8:13-15

The Voice

¹³ David’s exploits improved his reputation. After his return, he went to war with the Edomites,^[a] killing 18,000 in the valley of Salt. ¹⁴ David set up outposts throughout the land of Edom. All the Edomites became servants of David, and the Eternal One helped David wherever he went.

¹⁵ So David was king over a united Israel, ruling justly and fairly.
