1 Chronicles 19:10-19 - Ammonites And Syrians Defeated

¹⁰ So, when Joab saw that the battle confronted him, before and behind, - he chose out of all the choice in Israel, and set in array to meet the Syrians; ¹¹ and, the rest of the people, delivered he into the hand of Abishai his brother, - and they set in array, to meet the sons of Ammon.

¹² And he said - If, too strong for me, be the Syrians, then shalt thou come to my help, - but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I help thee. ¹³ Be strong, and let us put forth our strength, for the sake of our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, - and let, Yahweh, do, what is good in his own eyes.

¹⁴ Then did Joab, and all the people who were with him, draw near before the Syrians unto the battle, - and they fled from before him. ¹⁵ And, when, the sons of Ammon, saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled, they also, from before Abishai his brother, and entered the city, - and Joab came to Jerusalem.

¹⁶ And when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated before Israel, then sent they messengers, and brought out the Syrians who were Beyond the River, - with Shophach captain of the army of Hadarezer, before them.

¹⁷ And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and crossed the Jordan, and came unto them, and set in array against them, - and, when David had set in array against the Syrians for battle, they fought with him. ¹⁸ And the Syrians fled from before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, - and, Shophach captain of the army, he put to death. ¹⁹ And, when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David and served him, - neither would the Syrians help the sons of Ammon any more.
