The United Monarchy
2 Samuel 8:11-12
King David dedicated these to the L-RD... all the nations he had conquered: from Edom, Moab, and Ammon...Zobah.
From 1200–900 B.C.E., regional empires flourished in the Near East. After the collapse of the Hittite Empire, Tabal arose from its remains, west of Carchemish. Aram-Zobah extended from modern Lebanon south to the Galilee and north to Damascus and the Euphrates. The realm of David and Solomon came to control the Aram-Zobah empire as well as the territory from the Mediterranean to Edom, Moab and Ammon east of the Jordan and south to the Gulf of Aqaba.
