MSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country. ¹⁰ When 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. ¹¹ And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites. ¹² “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.
