1 Chronicles 18:12 In-Context

10 he sent Hadoram, his son, to King David, to greet him and to bless him because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him, for Hadarezer had war with Tou. And he sent him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass,
11 which King David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these Gentiles, 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 Edom in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men.
13 And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s slaves. Thus the LORD saved David wherever he went.
14 So David reigned over all Israel and executed judgment and righteousness among all his people.
