2 Samuel 10:7-12

7And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, he sentH7971 JoabH3097, and all the hostH6635 of the mightyH1368 menH1368. 8And the children of AmmonH5983 cameH3318 out, and put the battleH4421 in array at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179: and the Syrians of ZobahH6678 and of RehobH7340, and the menH376 of TobH2897 and MaacahH4601, were by themselves in the fieldH7704.

9Now 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: 10and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he committed into the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251; and he putH5414 them in array against the children of AmmonH5983. 11And 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 comeH1980 and help thee. 12Be 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.
