And he brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze. 11These also King David consecrated to YHWH, with the silver and the gold that he had carried off from all the nations: from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. 12And Abishai son of Zeruiah struck Edom in the Valley of Salt: eighteen thousand. 13He put garrisons in Edom, and all Edom became servants to David.
