David strikes down eighteen thousand in the Valley of Salt and puts garrisons in Edom
다윗이 염곡에서 일만 팔천을 쳐죽이고 에돔에 수비대를 둠
2 Samuel 8:13–14: David earns a reputation when he returns from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt. He puts garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he puts garrisons, and all the Edomites become servants to David. The text says, “The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.” Where WEB has “the Syrians” at 8:13, the Korean Revised Version has 에돔 사람, Edomites; it names David at 8:14, where WEB has “He”. Both editions name Edom at 8:14.

- 1 Chronicles 18:12 says in both editions that Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt: “Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt” (the Korean Revised Version 스루야의 아들 아비새가 염곡에서 에돔 사람 일만 팔천을 쳐 죽인지라). At 18:13 WEB says, “He put garrisons in Edom”, where the Korean Revised Version names David (다윗이 에돔에 수비대를 두매).

At 2 Samuel 8:13 the Korean Revised Version calls the eighteen thousand whom David struck down in the Valley of Salt 에돔 사람, Edomites, and WEB calls them “men of the Syrians”; the number is the same in both. At 8:14 both editions tell of garrisons put in Edom and say that all the Edomites became servants to David. The land of Edom cites the passage 8:13–14 for 8:14. This collection does not decide which reading of 8:13 is right.
