11 He said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Yahweh do that which seems him good.
13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 When the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
