And he set garrisons in Edom, even in all Edom: and all the Edomites were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.

And Abishai son of Zeruiah killed eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Edomites became David's servants, and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria of Zobah; and Joab [had] returned and struck twelve thousand[in] the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected and destroyed us; You have been angry, yet [You] have pitied us.

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Or who will lead me to Edom?

And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your body, and one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger.

And you shall live by your sword, and shall serve your brother; and there shall be [a time] when you shall break and loosen his yoke from off your neck.

And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel does valiantly.

And [One] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.

until the Lord your God shall deliver it into your hands, and you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword;

I have loved you, says the Lord. And you said, How have You loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? Says the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,

and hated Esau and laid waste his borders, and made his heritage as dwellings of the wilderness?

Now then kill every male in all the spoil, kill every woman, who has known a man intimately.
