In Context

8 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:

10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.

11 He said, |If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.

12 Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and Yahweh do that which seems good to him.|

13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
