2 Samuel 10:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Hadadezer sent for the Arameans who lived beyond the Euphrates River,^[a] and they set out for Helam, with Shobach^[b] leading them as commander of Hadadezer’s army.

¹⁷ When David learned this, he mustered all of Israel, crossed the Jordan River, and approached Helam. The Arameans assembled in battle array to attack David, and started their assault. ¹⁸ But the Arameans retreated from Israel, and David’s forces^[c] killed 700 of their charioteers, 40,000 soldiers, and mortally wounded Shobach, the commander of their army. As a result, Shobach^[d] died there.
