2 Samuel 10:6-14 - Israel Fights Ammon And Aram
6 And the sons of Ammon saw that they had begun to stink before David. And the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and from King Maacah a thousand men, and from Ishtob twelve thousand men.
7 And David heard. And he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men. 8 And the sons of Ammon came out and put the battle in order at the entering in of the gate. And the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. 9 And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind. And he chose from all the choice ones of Israel, and put them in order against the Syrians. 10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, so that he might set in order against the sons of Ammon.
11 And he said, If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me. But if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. 12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people and for the cities of our God. And may Jehovah do that which seems good to Him.
13 And Joab and the people with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians. And they fled before him. 14 And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, then they fled also before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
