2 Samuel 8:13-15

13So 1David made a name for himself when he returned from 2killing 18,000 3Arameans in 4the Valley of Salt. 14He put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put garrisons, and 5all the Edomites became servants to David. And 6the Lord helped David wherever he went.

15So David reigned over all Israel; and David 7administered justice and righteousness for all his people.
