⁸ And when David ^H1732 heard ^H8085 of it, he sent ^H7971 Joab, ^H3097 and all the host ^H6635 of the mighty men. ^H1368

⁹ And the children ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983 came out, ^H3318 and put the battle ^H4421 in array ^H6186 before the gate ^H6607 of the city: ^H5892 and the kings ^H4428 that were come ^H935 were by themselves in the field. ^H7704

¹⁰ Now when Joab ^H3097 saw ^H7200 that the battle ^H4421 was set against him before ^H6440 and behind, ^H268 he chose out ^H977 of all the choice ^H977 of Israel, ^H3478 and put them in array ^H6186 against ^H7125 the Syrians. ^H758

¹¹ And the rest ^H3499 of the people ^H5971 he delivered ^H5414 unto the hand ^H3027 of Abishai ^H52 his brother, ^H251 and they set themselves in array ^H6186 against ^H7125 the children ^H1121 of Ammon. ^H5983

¹² And he said, ^H559 If the Syrians ^H758 be too strong ^H2388 for me, then thou shalt help ^H8668 me: but if the children ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983 be too strong ^H2388 for thee, then I will help ^H3467 thee.

¹³ Be of good courage, ^H2388 and let us behave ourselves valiantly ^H2388 for our people, ^H5971 and for the cities ^H5892 of our God: ^H430 and let the LORD ^H3068 do ^H6213 that which is good ^H2896 in his sight. ^H5869

¹⁴ So Joab ^H3097 and the people ^H5971 that were with him drew nigh ^H5066 before ^H6440 the Syrians ^H758 unto the battle; ^H4421 and they fled ^H5127 before ^H6440 him.

¹⁵ And when the children ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983 saw ^H7200 that the Syrians ^H758 were fled, ^H5127 they likewise fled ^H5127 before ^H6440 Abishai ^H52 his brother, ^H251 and entered ^H935 into the city. ^H5892 Then Joab ^H3097 came ^H935 to Jerusalem. ^H3389

¹⁶ And when the Syrians ^H758 saw ^H7200 that they were put to the worse ^H5062 before ^H6440 Israel, ^H3478 they sent ^H7971 messengers, ^H4397 and drew forth ^H3318 the Syrians ^H758 that were beyond ^H5676 the river: ^H5104 and Shophach ^H7780 the captain ^H8269 of the host ^H6635 of Hadarezer ^H1928 went before ^H6440 them.

¹⁷ And it was told ^H5046 David; ^H1732 and he gathered ^H622 all Israel, ^H3478 and passed over ^H5674 Jordan, ^H3383 and came ^H935 upon them, and set the battle in array ^H6186 against them. So when David ^H1732 had put the battle ^H4421 in array ^H6186 against ^H7125 the Syrians, ^H758 they fought ^H3898 with him.

¹⁸ But the Syrians ^H758 fled ^H5127 before ^H6440 Israel; ^H3478 and David ^H1732 slew ^H2026 of the Syrians ^H758 seven ^H7651 thousand ^H505 men which fought in chariots, ^H7393 and forty ^H705 thousand ^H505 footmen, ^{H376 H7273} and killed ^H4191 Shophach ^H7780 the captain ^H8269 of the host. ^H6635

¹⁹ And when the servants ^H5650 of Hadarezer ^H1928 saw ^H7200 that they were put to the worse ^H5062 before ^H6440 Israel, ^H3478 they made peace ^H7999 with David, ^H1732 and became his servants: ^H5647 neither would ^H14 the Syrians ^H758 help ^H3467 the children ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983 any more.
