VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Joab saw he was under attack in front and behind. He took the select troops of Israel and organized them for combat against the Arameans. ¹⁰ putting the rest of his forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them to oppose the Ammonites. ¹¹ He said, "If the Arameans prove too strong for me, then you are to help me. If the Ammonites prove too strong for you, then I will come help you. ¹² Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do what is good in his sight. ¹³ Then Joab, and all his people with him, advanced to battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. ¹⁴ When the Ammonites saw that Aram had fled, they fled from before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
