14 When the Ammonites (tribal) saw that the Arameans (exalted) had fled, they too fled before Abishai (my father is a gift), and they entered the city. So Joab (YHWH is father) returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem (city of peace). 15 When the Arameans (exalted) saw that they had been defeated by Israel (he wrestles with God), they regrouped. 16 Hadadezer (Hadad is help) sent messengers to bring more Arameans (exalted) from beyond the Euphrates \the River/, and they came to Helam (stronghold) with Shobach (Shophach) the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them. 17 When this was reported to David (beloved), he gathered all Israel (he wrestles with God), crossed the Jordan (flowing down), and went to Helam (stronghold). Then the Arameans (exalted) arrayed themselves against David and fought against him. 18 But the Arameans (exalted) fled before Israel (he wrestles with God), and David (beloved) killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers [horsemen]. He also struck down Shobach (expansion) the commander of their army, who died there. 19 When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer (Hadad is help) saw that they had been defeated by Israel (he wrestles with God), they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans (exalted) were afraid to help the Ammonites (tribal) anymore. 2 Samuel 10:14-19, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
