1 Chronicles 19:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ The Ammonites marched out and lined up in battle formation at the entrance of the city while the kings who had come were in the field by themselves. ¹⁰ When Joab saw that there was a battle line in front of him and another behind him, he chose some men out of all the elite troops^[a](A) of Israel and lined up in battle formation to engage the Arameans. ¹¹ He placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, and they lined up in battle formation to engage the Ammonites.
