2 Samuel 10:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ Realizing that Israel had defeated them, the Arameans reassembled ⌞their troops⌟. ¹⁶ Hadadezer sent ⌞messengers⌟ to get Arameans from beyond the Euphrates River. The Arameans came to Helam with Shobach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army, leading them.

¹⁷ When David was told ⌞about this⌟, he assembled Israel’s army, crossed the Jordan River, and came to Helam. The Arameans formed a battle line against David’s ⌞troops⌟ and fought him.
