2 Samuel 10:9-14 When now Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians:

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ When now Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians: ¹⁰ And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, who arrayed himself against the children of ‘Ammon. ¹¹ And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou bring me help; but if the children of ‘Ammon be too strong for thee, then will I go to help thee. ¹² Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves in behalf of our people, and in behalf of the cities of our God: and may the Lord do that which seemeth good in his eyes. ¹³ And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled from before him. ¹⁴ And when the children of ‘Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abishai, and entered into the city. Joab then returned from the children of ‘Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
