2 Samuel 10:11-14 ▼

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, be courageous on behalf of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what he thinks is best.|

13 So Joab and the soldiers who were with him attacked the Arameans in battle formation, and the Arameans retreated in front of him.

14 When the Ammonites saw the Arameans retreating, they also retreated from Abishai back to the city. Then Joab broke off his attack against the Ammonites and went back to Jerusalem.
