2 Samuel 10:8-10
International Standard Version
8 The Ammonites went out in battle formation at the entrance to the city[a] gate, while the Arameans from Zobah and Rehob, along with the army[b] from Tob and Maacah, were out by themselves in the open fields.
9 When Joab observed that the battle lines were set up to oppose him both in front and behind, he appointed the best troops in Israel and arrayed them to oppose the Arameans, 10 putting the rest of his forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them to oppose the Ammonites.
