LEB(i)
7 When David heard, he sent Joab and all the army of mighty warriors.
8 The ⌊Ammonites⌋* came out and ⌊drew up a battle formation⌋* at the entrance of the gate, but Aram-Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were alone in the open field.
9 When Joab saw that ⌊the battle was to be fought on two fronts⌋,* he chose from all the members of the elite troops of Israel and ⌊lined them up for battle⌋* to meet Aram.
10 The rest of the army he placed into the hand of his brother Abishai, who ⌊arranged them in battle lines⌋* to meet the ⌊Ammonites⌋.*
