Edomites » David makes conquest of
The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was of the royal line in Edom. For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom);
King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand. He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
