7 A cette nouvelle, David envoya contre eux Joab et toute l’armée, les hommes vaillants.

8 Les fils d’Ammon sortirent, et se rangèrent en bataille à l’entrée de la porte; les Syriens de Tsoba et de Rehob, et les hommes de Tob et de Maaca, étaient à part dans la campagne.

9 Joab vit qu’il avait à combattre par devant et par derrière. Il choisit alors sur toute l’élite d’Israël un corps, qu’il opposa aux Syriens;

10 et il plaça sous le commandement de son frère Abischaï le reste du peuple, pour faire face aux fils d’Ammon.

11 Il dit: Si les Syriens sont plus forts que moi, tu viendras à mon secours; et si les fils d’Ammon sont plus forts que toi, j’irai te secourir.
