⁸ And when David heard it, he sent Joab and the whole army of the valiant men.

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.
