1 Chronicles 19:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸ When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of mighty men.

⁹ And the Ammonites came out and lined up in battle array before the entrance of the city [Medeba], and the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.

¹⁰ When Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose from all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians.
