He Will Tread Down Our Foes

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Shushan Eduth. A ^(B)Miktam^[a] of David; ^(C)for instruction; when he ^(D)strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

¹¹ But Amaziah took courage and led out his people and went to the ^(A)Valley of Salt and struck down ^(B)10,000 men of Seir. ¹² The men of Judah captured another 10,000 alive and took them to the top of a rock and threw them down from the top of the rock, and they were all dashed to pieces.

²⁰ In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah and set up ^(A)a king of their own. ²¹ Then Joram^[a] passed over to Zair with all his chariots and rose by night, and he and his chariot commanders struck the Edomites who had surrounded him, but his army ^(B)fled home. ^22 (C)So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. Then ^(D)Libnah revolted at the same time.
