1 Chronicles 19:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ When the Arameans saw that Israel had defeated them, they sent messengers to bring other Arameans from ·east of the Euphrates [^Lbeyond the] River. Their leader was ·Shophach [or Shobach; 2 Sam. 10:18], the commander of Hadadezer’s army.

¹⁷ When David heard about this, he ·gathered [mobilized; mustered] all the Israelites, and they crossed over the Jordan River. He ·prepared [positioned; deployed] them for battle, facing the Arameans. The Arameans fought with him, ¹⁸ but they ·ran away [fled] from the Israelites. David killed seven thousand [^Cseven hundred in 2 Sam. 10:18] Aramean chariot drivers and forty thousand Aramean foot soldiers. He also killed ·Shophach [or Shobach, 2 Sam. 10:18], the commander of the Aramean army.
