David's Victory Over His Enemies

11 These also king David dedicated to LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. 12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 13 And he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
