* So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots , and the king of Maachah and his people ; who came and pitched before Medeba . And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities , and came to battle . * And when David heard of it , he sent Joab , and all the host of the mighty men . * And the children of Ammon came out , and put the battle in array before the gate of the city : and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field . * Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind , he chose out of all the choice of Israel , and put them in array against the Syrians . * And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother , and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon . * And he said , If the Syrians be too strong for me , then thou shalt help me : but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee , then I will help thee . * Be of good courage , and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people , and for the cities of our God : and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight . * So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle ; and they fled before him . * And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled , they likewise fled before Abishai his brother , and entered into the city . Then Joab came to Jerusalem .
