Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

אֶת־אֲרָ֖ם

DOM ʼEdōmites

The Septuagint (an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) and the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 18:12 read “Edom.” That may have been the original reading, particularly since the the Valley of Salt (the Arabah south of the Dead Sea) was close to Edom, not to Aram. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made Dāvid name_of when,returned,he from,when,he_defeated DOM ʼEdōmites in_[the],Valley_of Salt eight ten thousand )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [killing 18,000 Edomites]
