2 Samuel 10:16-19
16Hadadezer sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates,1 and they came to Helam with Shobach2 the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameans arrayed themselves against David and fought against him. 18But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers.3 He also struck down Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.
19When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
