2 Samuel 10:7-12

7And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, he sentH7971 JoabH3097, and all the armyH6635 of the mighty menH1368.

8And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 came outH3318, and put the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 at the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179: and the SyriansH758 of ZobaH6678, and of RehobH7340, and Ish–tobH382, and MaacahH4601, were by themselvesH905 in the fieldH7704.

9When JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the frontH6440 of the battleH4421 was against him beforeH6440 and behindH268, he choseH977 of all the choiceH977 men of IsraelH3478, and put them in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the SyriansH758:

10And the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, that he might put them in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.

11And he saidH559, If the SyriansH758 be too strongH2388 for me, then thou shalt helpH3444 me: but if the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 be too strongH2388 for thee, then I will comeH1980 and helpH3467 thee.

12Be of good courageH2388, and let us play the menH2388 for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430: And YhwhH3068 doH6213 that which seemethH5869 him goodH2896.
