A List of Victories
This verse lists the nations from which David dedicated spoils to the Lord. Scholars note a minor textual difference between this verse (mentioning Syria) and its parallel in 1 Chronicles 18:11 (mentioning Edom). This is likely due to the similarity of the Hebrew letters for 'Aram' (Syria) and 'Edom.' Since David conquered both, commentators see this not as a contradiction but as a reflection of the comprehensive nature of his God-given victories.
