THE MESSAGE
The Ammonites marched out and spread out in battle formation at the city gate; the kings who had come as allies took up a position in the open fields. When Joab saw that he had two fronts to fight, before and behind, he took his pick of the best of Israel and deployed them to confront the Arameans. The rest of the army he put under the command of Abishai, his brother, and deployed them to deal with the Ammonites. Then he said, "If the Arameans are too much for me, you help me; and if the Ammonites prove too much for you, I'll come and help you. Courage! We'll fight might and main for our people and for the cities of our God. And God will do whatever he sees needs doing!"

Contextual Overview
6 And the Ammonites saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver in order to hire to themselves chariots and horsemen from Syria of Naharaim and Syria of Maachah and from Zobah. 7 And they hired thirty two thousand chariots to themselves, and the king of Maachah and his people. And they came in and pitched before Medeba; and the Ammonites had gathered out of their cities and had come to the battle. 8 And David heard, and sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men. 9 And the Ammonites came out and set the battle in order at the entrance to the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field. 10 And Joab saw that the face of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out all the choice ones in Israel, and set in order to meet Syria; 11 and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abishai; and they set in order to meet the sons of Ammon. 12 And he said, If Syria is stronger than I, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will help you. 13 Be strong, even let us take courage for our people and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah will do that which is good in His eyes. 14 And Joab and the people with him drew near before Syria to do battle; and they fled before him. 15 And the Ammonites saw that Syria had fled, and they ran away, they also, from before his brother Abishai, and went into the city. And Joab came to Jerusalem.
