David's officers He placed garrisons throughout Edom This phrase indicates a strategic military move by King David to establish control over Edom, a neighboring nation to the south of Israel.

By placing garrisons, David ensured a permanent military presence, securing Israel's southern border and maintaining peace. This action reflects the fulfillment of the prophecy given to Rebekah in Genesis 25:23, where it was foretold that the older (Esau/Edom) would serve the younger (Jacob/Israel).

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from 2 Samuel 8In light of 2 Samuel 10’s portrayal of divine favor in warfare, how do skeptics address the apparent lack of nonbiblical confirmation for Israel’s repeated military successes? What is the meaning of Genesis 25:23? Genesis 36:31–39 describes Edomite kings before Israel’s monarchy—how does this align with later biblical timelines? What was the extent of King David's kingdom?Verse 14. - Throughout all Edom put he garrisons. In a country naturally so strong as Edom, and with neighbouring states ready to give shelter to their fugitives, Joab's attempt would cause great misery, but only a moderate loss of life.
