2 Samuel 10:8-14

Matthew(i) 8 And the chyldren of Amnon came out & waged battell before the gate & the Syryens of Zobah, of Rehob, Istob and Maacah were by themselues in the feldes. 9 When Ioab sawe that the front of the battell was before and after, he chose of all the best of Israell & put them in araye agaynst the Syryens. 10 And the rest of the people he delyuered into the hand of Abisai his brother, which put them in araye agaynst the children of Amnon. 11 And he sayd: yf the Syryens ouercome me, then succoure me. But yf the chyldren of Amnon be to good for the, I wyll come and succoure the, 12 quyte the lyke a man, and let vs fyght lustely for oure people, & for the cytyes of our God. And the Lorde do what semyth best in hys eyes. 13 And forthwyth Ioab proceded & the people that was with him into battell against the Syryens, which fleed before him. 14 And when the chyldren of Amnon saw that the Syriens were fled, then fled they also before Abisai, and entred into the cytye. And so Ioab returned from the chyldren of Amnon & came to Ierusalem.
