And the rest H3499 of the people H5971 he delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of Abishai H52 his brother, H251 that he might put them in array H6186 against H7125 the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983

And he said, H559 If H518 the Syrians H758 be too strong H2388 for me, then you shall help H3444 me: but if H518 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 be too strong H2388 for you, then I will come H1980 and help H3467 you.
12
Be of good courage, H2388 and let us play the men H2388 for our people, H5971 and for the cities H5892 of our God: H430 and the LORD H3068 do H6213 that which seems H5869 him good. H2896

And Joab H3097 drew near, H5066 and the people H5971 that were with him, to the battle H4421 against the Syrians: H758 and they fled H5127 before H6440 him.
And the other H428 issued H3318 out of the city H5892 against H7125 them; so they were in the middle H8432 of Israel, H3478 some H428 on this H2088 side, and some H428 on that side: and they smote H5221 them, so H5704 that they let none H1115 of them remain H8300 or escape. H6412
Therefore they turned H6437 their backs before H6440 the men H376 of Israel H3478 to the way H1870 of the wilderness; H4057 but the battle H4421 overtook H1692 them; and them which H834 came out of the cities H5892 they destroyed H7843 in the middle H8432 of them.
