2 Samuel 10:11

The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians.

The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.

Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”

So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.

When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
