nothing further is recorded of the edomites in the tanakh until their defeat by king saul of israel in the late 11th century bc. forty years later king david and his general joab defeated the edomites in the "valley of salt" (probably near the dead sea). an edomite prince named hadad escaped and fled to egypt, and after david's death returned and tried to start a rebellion, but failed and went to syria (aramea). from that time edom remained a vassal of israel. david placed over the edomites israelite governors or prefects, and this form of government seems to have continued under solomon. when israel divided into two kingdoms edom became a dependency of the kingdom of judah. in the time of jehoshaphat (c. 914 bc) the tanakh mentions a king of edom, who was probably an israelite appointed by the king of judah. it also states that the inhabitants of mount seir invaded judea in conjunction with ammon and moab, and that the invaders turned against one another and were all destroyed. edom revolted against jehoram and elected a king of its own. amaziah attacked and defeated the edomites, seizing selah, but the israelites never subdued edom completely.
