¹⁵ For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom

¹⁴ He put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

¹² Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand.

¹³ He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

¹³ and when Yahweh your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:

² "I have loved you," says Yahweh. Yet you say, "How have you loved us?" "Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?" says Yahweh, "Yet I loved Jacob;

³ but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness."

¹⁰ Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

¹ > God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

¹⁷ Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.

¹⁸ Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, [who were] his enemies; While Israel does valiantly.

¹⁹ Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, Shall destroy the remnant from the city.

⁴⁰ By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, That you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."

²³ Yahweh said to her, Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.
