Contextual Overview

6 And, when the sons of Ammon saw, that they had made themselves odious with David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire for themselves - out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah, - chariots, and horsemen. 7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah, and his people, who came and pitched before Medeba, - and the sons of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and entered into the war. 8 Now, when David heard, he sent Joab and all the army of heroes. 9 And the sons of Ammon came out, and set in array for the battle, at the opening of the city, - whereas, the kings who had come, were by themselves, in the field. 10 So, when Joab saw that the battle confronted him, before and behind, - he chose out of all the choice in Israel, and set in array to meet the Syrians; 11 and, the rest of the people, delivered he into the hand of Abishai his brother, - and they set in array, to meet the sons of Ammon. 12 And he said - If, too strong for me, be the Syrians, then shalt thou come to my help, - but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I help thee. 13 Be strong, and let us put forth our strength, for the sake of our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, - and let, Yahweh, do, what is good in his own eyes. 14 Then did Joab, and all the people who were with him, draw near before the Syrians unto the battle, - and they fled from before him. 15 And, when, the sons of Ammon, saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled, they also, from before Abishai his brother, and entered the city, - and Joab came to Jerusalem.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Abishai: Heb. Abshai, 1 Chronicles 11:20, 1 Chronicles 18:12, The variation of אבישי [Strong's H52], Abishai, and אבשי [Strong's H52], Abshai, is simply caused by the elision of י, yood, which is by no means uncommon.

and they set: 1 Chronicles 19:9
