1 Chronicles 19:10-19

10Now when JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the battleH4421 was set against him beforeH6440 and behindH268, he chose outH977 of all the choiceH977 of IsraelH3478, and put them in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the SyriansH758.12 11And the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he deliveredH5414 unto the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and they set themselves in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.3 12And he saidH559, If the SyriansH758 be too strongH2388 for me, then thou shalt helpH8668 me: but if the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 be too strongH2388 for thee, then I will helpH3467 thee. 13Be of good courageH2388, and let us behave ourselves valiantlyH2388 for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430: and let YhwhH3068 doH6213 that which is goodH2896 in his sightH5869. 14So JoabH3097 and the peopleH5971 that were with him drew nighH5066 beforeH6440 the SyriansH758 unto the battleH4421; and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 him. 15And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that the SyriansH758 were fledH5127, they likewise fledH5127 beforeH6440 AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and enteredH935 into the cityH5892. Then JoabH3097 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.

16And when the SyriansH758 sawH7200 that they were put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they sentH7971 messengersH4397, and drew forthH3318 the SyriansH758 that were beyondH5676 the riverH5104: and ShophachH7780 the captainH8269 of the armyH6635 of HadarezerH1928 went beforeH6440 them.45 17And it was toldH5046 DavidH1732; and he gatheredH622 all IsraelH3478, and passed overH5674 JordanH3383, and cameH935 upon them, and set the battle in arrayH6186 against them. So when DavidH1732 had put the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the SyriansH758, they foughtH3898 with him. 18But the SyriansH758 fledH5127 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 slewH2026 of the SyriansH758 sevenH7651 thousandH505 men which fought in chariotsH7393, and fortyH705 thousandH505 footmenH7273H376, and killedH4191 ShophachH7780 the captainH8269 of the armyH6635. 19And when the servantsH5650 of HadarezerH1928 sawH7200 that they were put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they made peaceH7999 with DavidH1732, and became his servantsH5647: neither wouldH14 the SyriansH758 helpH3467 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 any more.
