The battle was fought at the "valley of salt," an unknown place, but probably near Sela, or Petra, the capital of Edom. 5. Amnion. (2 Sam. 10-13.) This was the longest of David's wars, and was waged not against the Ammonites only, but against the allied forces of several small Syrian kingdoms, as Zobah (already conquered, but not subjugated), Maachah, Rehob and Tob, districts on the north and east of Israel.
