2 Samuel 10:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ And when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the strong men.

⁸ And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in formation at the entrance of the gate. And the Aramites from Zoba and from Rehob and from Ish-Tob and from Maacah were by themselves in the field.

⁹ When Joab saw that the fronts of the battle were against him both in front and in the rear, he chose from all the choice of Israel and put them in formation against the Aramites.
