11 Some of these also King David dedicated to the LORD, together with the silver and the gold that he had captured from all the nations which he had subdued: from the Edomites, from the Moabites, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from the Amalekites. And the rest of the people he placed under the command of Abishai his brother, and they pitched battle against the children of Ammon. 12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zuriah brother of Joab slew the Edomites in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men. And he said to him, If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall come to my help; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come to help you. 13 And David appointed governors over the Edomites, and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went. Be of good courage, and let us be strong for the sake of our people and for the sake of the cities of our God; and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight. 1 Chronicles 18:11-13, Lamsa Bible.
