2 Samuel 8:13

David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians—Instead of Syrians, the Septuagint version reads "Edomites," which is the true reading, as is evident from II Samuel 8:14. This conquest, made by the army of David, was due to the skilful generalship and gallantry of Abishai and Joab. (I Chronicles 18:12; compare Psalms 60:1, title.) The valley was the ravine of salt (the Ghor), adjoining the Salt Mountain, at the southwestern extremity of the Dead Sea, separating the ancient territories of Judah and Edom [ROBINSON].
