2 Samuel 10:7-9 ▼

7 When David heard the news, he sent Joab and the entire army to meet them.

8 The Ammonites marched out and were deployed for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the men from Aram Zobah, Rehob, Ish-tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.

9 When Joab saw that the battle would be fought on two fronts, he chose some of Israel's best men and deployed them against the Arameans.
