1 Chronicles 19:14-19

14So JoabH3097 and his troopsH5971 advancedH5066 to fightH4421 the ArameansH758, who fledH5127 beforeH6440 himH6440. 15When the AmmonitesH1121H5983 sawH7200 thatH3588 the ArameansH758 had fledH5127, theyH1992 tooH1571 fledH5127 beforeH6440 Joab’s brotherH251 AbishaiH52, and they enteredH935 the cityH5892. So JoabH3097 went backH935 to JerusalemH3389.

16When the ArameansH758 sawH7200 thatH3588 they had been defeatedH5062 byH6440 IsraelH3478, they sentH7971 messengersH4397 to bringH3318 more ArameansH758 from beyondH5676 the EuphratesH5104,1 with ShophachH77802 the commanderH8269 of Hadadezer’sH1909 armyH6635 leading themH6440.

17When this was reportedH5046 to DavidH1732, he gatheredH622 allH3605 IsraelH3478, crossedH5674 the JordanH3383, advancedH935 towardH413 the ArameansH758, and arrayed for battleH6186 against themH413. When DavidH1732 lined upH6186 to engageH7122 them in battleH4421, they foughtH3898 against himH5973. 18But the ArameansH758 fledH5127 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and DavidH1732H758 killedH2026 sevenH7651 thousandH505 of their charioteersH7393 and fortyH705 thousandH505 foot soldiersH376H7273. He also killedH4191 ShophachH7780 the commanderH8269 of their armyH6635.

19When Hadadezer’sH1909 subjectsH5650 sawH7200 thatH3588 they had been defeatedH5062 byH6440 IsraelH3478, they made peaceH7999 withH5973 DavidH1732 and became subject to himH5647. So the ArameansH758 were unwillingH3808H14 to helpH3467 the AmmonitesH1121H5983 anymoreH5750.
