Contextual Overview

6 The sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves to be hated by David. So Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent silver weighing as much as 1,000 men, to get war-wagons and horsemen from Mesopotamia, Aram-maacah, and Zobah. 7 They paid for 32,000 war-wagons and for the king of Maacah and his army who came and set up their tents by Medeba. Then the sons of Ammon gathered together from their cities and came to battle. 8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of his strong men. 9 The sons of Ammon came out and were ready for battle at the city gate. The kings who had come were by themselves in the field. 10 Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and behind. So he chose some of the best men of Israel and they made themselves ready to fight the Syrians. 11 But he had his brother Abishai lead the rest of the men. And they made themselves ready to fight the sons of Ammon. 12 Joab said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then help me. But if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you. 13 Be strong; let us show our strength of heart because of our people, and for the cities of our God. May the Lord do what is good in His eyes." 14 So Joab and the men who were with him came near to fight against the Syrians. And the Syrians ran away from him. 15 The sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians ran away. So they ran away from Joab's brother Abishai, and went into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
