1 Chronicles 19:6-18

6And the children of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that they had made themselves odiousH887 to DavidH1732; and HanunH2586 and the children of AmmonH5983 sentH7971 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 to hireH7936 them chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 out of Mesopotamia, and from the Syrians of MaacahH4601, and from ZobahH6678.

7And they hiredH7936 thirty-two thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and the kingH4428 of MaacahH4601 and his peopleH5971; and they cameH935 and encampedH2583 before MedebaH4311. And the children of AmmonH5983 gatheredH622 together from their citiesH5892, and cameH935 to battleH4421.

8And DavidH1732 heardH8085 [of it], and he sentH7971 JoabH3097, and all the hostH6635, the mightyH1368 menH1368.

9And the children of AmmonH5983 cameH935 out, and put the battleH4421 in array at the entranceH6607 of the cityH5892; and the kingsH4428 that had comeH935 were by themselves on the fieldH7704.

10And JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the front of the battleH4421 wasH1961 against him before and behind; and he choseH977 out of all the choice menH970 of IsraelH3478, and put them in array against the Syrians;

11and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he gaveH5414 into the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and they setH5414 themselves in array against the children of AmmonH5983.

12And he saidH559, If the Syrians beH1961 too strongH2388 for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of AmmonH5983 beH1961 too strongH2388 for thee, then I will help thee.

13Be strongH2388, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our 1GodH430; and Jehovah will do what is goodH2896 in his sight.

14And JoabH3097 and the peopleH5971 that were with him drewH5066 near in front of the Syrians to the battleH4421; and they fledH5127 before him.

15And when the children of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that the Syrians fledH5127, they likewise fledH5127 before AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and entered into the cityH5892. And JoabH3097 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.

16And when the Syrians sawH7200 that they were routed before IsraelH3478, they sentH7971 messengersH4397, and drew forthH3318 the Syrians that were beyond the riverH5104; and ShophachH7780 the captain of the hostH6635 of Hadarezer [wentH3318] before them.

17And it was toldH5046 DavidH1732; and he gatheredH622 all IsraelH3478, and passedH5674 over the JordanH3383, and cameH935 upon them, and set [the battleH4421] in array against them. And DavidH1732 put the battleH4421 in array against the Syrians, and they foughtH3898 with him.

18And the Syrians fledH5127 from before IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 slewH2026 of the Syrians sevenH7651 thousandH505 [in] chariotsH7393, and fortyH705 thousandH505 footmen, and slewH2026 ShophachH7780 the captain of the hostH6635.
