9 And Tou the king of Hamath heard that David had struck the whole army of Hadarezer the king of Zobah, 10 and he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to ask peace of him, and to bless him because he had fought against Hadarezer, and had struck him; for Hadarezer had been a man of war with Tou; and he sent all vessels of gold and silver andbronze. 11 Also these King David sanctified to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had taken from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the Ammonites, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. 12 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah had killed eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt; 13 and he put command posts in Edom, and all the Edomites were servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David wherever he went. 14 And David reigned over all Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people. 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe; 17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were first ones at the hand of the king.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 18:12. Abishai - slew of the Edomites — This victory is attributed to David, 2 Samuel 8:13. He sent Abishai against them, and he defeated them: this is with great propriety attributed to David as commander-in-chief; qui facit per alterum, facit per se.
