2 Samuel 10:16-19

16HadadezerH1909 sentH7971 messengers to bringH3318 more ArameansH758 from beyondH5676 the EuphratesH5104,1 and they cameH935 to HelamH2431 with ShobachH77312 the commanderH8269 of Hadadezer’sH1909 armyH6635 leading themH6440.

17When this was reportedH5046 to DavidH1732, he gatheredH622 allH3605 IsraelH3478, crossedH5674 the JordanH3383, and wentH935 to HelamH2431. Then the ArameansH758 arrayed themselvesH6186 againstH7122 DavidH1732 and foughtH3898 against himH5973. 18But the ArameansH758 fledH5127 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and DavidH1732H758 killedH2026 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 charioteersH7393 and fortyH705 thousandH505 foot soldiersH6571.3 He also struck downH5221 ShobachH7731 the commanderH8269 of their armyH6635, who diedH4191 thereH8033.

19When allH3605 the kingsH4428 who were subjectH5650 to HadadezerH1909 sawH7200 thatH3588 they had been defeatedH5062 byH6440 IsraelH3478, they made peaceH7999 withH854 IsraelH3478 and became subject to themH5647. So the ArameansH758 were afraidH3372 to helpH3467 the AmmonitesH1121H5983 anymoreH5750.
