When he fought Aram-naharaimThat is, Mesopotamia; Aram-naharaim means Aram of the two rivers, likely the region between the Euphrates and Balih Rivers in northwestern Mesopotamia. and Aram-zobah,That is, the land northeast of Damascus and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

1You have rejected us, O God;You have broken us;You have been angry;restore us!2You have shaken the landand torn it open.Heal its fractures,for it is quaking.3You have shown Your people hardship;we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
4You have raised a banner for those who fear You,that they may flee the bow.1Selah5Respond and save us with Your right hand,that Your beloved may be delivered.
6God has spoken from His sanctuary:2“I will triumph!I will parcel out Shechemand apportion the Valley of Succoth.7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.8Moab is My washbasin;upon Edom I toss My sandal;over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom?10Have You not rejected us, O God?Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?11Give us aid against the enemy,for the help of man is worthless.12With God we will perform with valor,and He will trample our enemies.
