1 Chronicles 19:9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ And the children of Ammon came out and set themselves in battle formation at the gate of the city. And the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

¹⁰ When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him, in front and behind, he chose from all the choice of Israel and set himself in formation to meet the Aramites.

¹¹ And he delivered the rest of the people into the hand of Abishai, his brother. And they put themselves in formation against the children of Ammon.
