1 Chronicles 18:12

David's Victory Over His Enemies

¹¹ King David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all the nations—from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and the Amalekites. ¹² Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. ¹³ He put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.
