10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he selected all the choice of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array against the children of Ammon.
12 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do [that which is] good in his sight.
14 So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew nigh before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
