Context of 1 Chronicles 18:13

11King David dedicated all the articles of gold, silver, and bronze to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from other nations—from Edom, Moab, Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek. 12Zeruiah’s son Abishai killed 18,000 Edomites in the Dead Sea region. He put troops in Edom, and all its people became David’s subjects. Everywhere David went, the Lord gave him victories. 14So David ruled all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people. 15Zeruiah’s son Joab was in charge of the army. Ahilud’s son Jehoshaphat was the royal historian.
