When Joab observed that the battle lines were set up to oppose him both in front and behind, he appointed some special forces from Israel and arrayed them to oppose the Arameans, putting the rest of his forces under command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them to oppose the Ammonites. He told Abishai, "If the Arameans prove too strong for me, then you are to help me. If the Ammonites prove too strong for you, then I will help you. Be strong, be courageous on behalf of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what he thinks is best."

When Hadadezer's officials saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sought terms of peace with David and became subservient to him. After this, the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
