2 Sam. 10:6‑19• 6And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-Rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
 7And David heard of it , and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.
 8And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate; and the Syrians of Zoba and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
 9And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;
 10and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother that he might array them against the children of Ammon.
 11And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
 12Be strong, and let us show ourselves valiant for our people and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah do what is good in his sight.
 13And Joab drew near, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him.
 14And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
 15And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
 16And Hadarezer sent, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river; and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

 19And all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with Israel, and served them. And the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon anymore. (2 Sam. 10:6‑19)
