1 Chronicles 19:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ David heard about it. So he sent Joab out with the entire army of Israel’s fighting men. ⁹ The Ammonites marched out. They took up their battle positions at the entrance to their city. The kings who came to help them gathered their troops together in the open country.

¹⁰ Joab saw that there were lines of soldiers in front of him and behind him. So he chose some of the best troops in Israel. He sent them to march out against the Arameans.
