2 Samuel 10:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ Hadadezer sent for the Arameans who lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they gathered at Helam under Shobach, the general of all Hadadezer’s army. ¹⁷ When David got this news, he gathered his army, crossed over the Jordan River, and went to Helam. The Arameans came out and arranged themselves to fight David ¹⁸ and ran from Israel in defeat: David killed 700 charioteers and 40,000 horsemen,^[a] and he mortally wounded Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.
