La Bible du Semeur
16 Le roi Hadadézer envoya des messagers pour mobiliser les Syriens établis de l’autre côté de l’Euphrate. Ils arrivèrent à Hélam avec, à leur tête, Shobak, le chef de l’armée de Hadadézer. 17 Quand David en fut informé, il mobilisa tout Israël, traversa le Jourdain et marcha sur Hélam[a]. Les Syriens se rangèrent en ordre de bataille pour affronter David et engagèrent le combat, 18 mais ils furent mis en fuite par les Israélites. David leur tua sept cents chevaux attelés aux chars et quarante mille soldats sur char[b]. Il frappa aussi Shobak, leur général en chef, qui mourut sur le champ de bataille.
