2 Samuel 10:8-19

8And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 came outH3318, and put the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179: and the SyriansH758 of ZobaH6678, and of RehobH7340, and IshtobH382, 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 shall be too strongH2388 for me, then thou shalt helpH3444 me: but if the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall 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 the LORDH3068 doH6213 that which seemethH5869 him goodH2896. 13And JoabH3097 and the peopleH5971 that were with him, drew nearH5066, to the battleH4421 against the SyriansH758: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 him. 14And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that the SyriansH758 had fledH5127, then fledH5127 they also beforeH6440 AbishaiH52, and enteredH935 into the cityH5892. So JoabH3097 returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.

15And when the SyriansH758 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they gatheredH622 themselves togetherH3162. 16And HadarezerH1928 sentH7971, and brought outH3318 the SyriansH758 that were beyondH5676 the riverH5104: and they cameH935 to HelamH2431; and ShobachH7731 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of HadarezerH1928 went beforeH6440 them.12 17And when it was toldH5046 DavidH1732, he gatheredH622 all IsraelH3478 togetherH622, and passed overH5674 JordanH3383, and cameH935 to HelamH2431. And the SyriansH758 set themselves in arrayH6186 againstH7125 DavidH1732, and foughtH3898 with him. 18And the SyriansH758 fledH5127 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 slewH2026 the men of sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of the SyriansH758, and fortyH705 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and smoteH5221 ShobachH7731 the captainH8269 of their hostH6635, who diedH4191 there.3 19And when all the kingsH4428 that were servantsH5650 to HadarezerH1928 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they made peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478, and servedH5647 them. So the SyriansH758 fearedH3372 to helpH3467 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 any more.
