2 Samuel 10:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ David found out what the Arameans were doing, and he brought Israel's whole army together. They crossed the Jordan River and went to Helam, where the Arameans were ready to meet them. ¹⁸ The Arameans attacked, but then they ran from Israel. David killed 700 chariot drivers and 40,000 cavalry.^[a] He also killed Shobach, their commander.

¹⁹ When the kings who had been under Hadadezer's rule saw that Israel had beaten them, they made peace with Israel and accepted David as their ruler. The Arameans were afraid to help Ammon any more.
