2 Samuel 10:8-14

⁸The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.

⁹When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.

¹⁰And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.

¹¹“If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.

¹²Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”

¹³So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.

¹⁴When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
