1 Chronicles 19:10-19
10Now when JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the battleH4421 wasH1961 set against him before and behind, he choseH977 of all the choice menH970 of IsraelH3478, and put them in array against the Syrians. 11And the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he committed into the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251; and they putH5414 themselves in array against the children of AmmonH5983. 12And he saidH559, If the Syrians beH1961 too strongH2388 for me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of AmmonH5983 beH1961 too strongH2388 for thee, then I will help thee. 13Be of goodH2896 courage, and let us play the man for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430: and Jehovah do that which seemeth him goodH2896. 14So JoabH3097 and the peopleH5971 that were with him drewH5066 nigh before the Syrians unto the battleH4421; and they fledH5127 before him. 15And when the children of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that the Syrians were fledH5127, they likewise fledH5127 before AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and entered into the cityH5892. Then JoabH3097 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
16And when the Syrians sawH7200 that they were put to the worse before IsraelH3478, they sentH7971 messengersH4397, and drew forthH3318 the Syrians that were beyond the RiverH5104, with ShophachH7780 the captain of the hostH6635 of Hadarezer at their head. 17And it was toldH5046 DavidH1732; and he gatheredH622 all IsraelH3478 together, and passedH5674 over the JordanH3383, and cameH935 upon them, and set the battleH4421 in array against them. So when DavidH1732 had put the battleH4421 in array against the Syrians, they foughtH3898 with him. 18And the Syrians fledH5127 before IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 slewH2026 of the Syrians the menH376 of sevenH7651 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and fortyH705 thousandH505 footmen, and killedH2026 ShophachH7780 the captain of the hostH6635. 19And when the servantsH5650 of Hadarezer sawH7200 that they were put to the worse before IsraelH3478, they made peace with DavidH1732, and servedH5647 him: neither wouldH14 the Syrians help the children of AmmonH5983 any more.
