2 Samuel 10:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶ they were joined by additional Aramean troops summoned by Hadadezer from the other side of the Euphrates River.^[a] These troops arrived at Helam under the command of Shobach, the commander of Hadadezer’s forces.

¹⁷ When David heard what was happening, he mobilized all Israel, crossed the Jordan River, and led the army to Helam. The Arameans positioned themselves in battle formation and fought against David. ¹⁸ But again the Arameans fled from the Israelites. This time David’s forces killed 700 charioteers and 40,000 foot soldiers,^[b] including Shobach, the commander of their army.
