The Syrians flee before Joab, and the children of Ammon before Abishai his brother

아람 사람은 요압 앞에서, 암몬 자손은 그 아우 아비새 앞에서 도망함

2 Samuel 10:6–14: when the children of Ammon see that they have become odious to David, the children of Ammon send and hire the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men. When David hears of it, he sends Joab and all the army of the mighty men. The children of Ammon come 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 are by themselves in the field. Now when Joab sees that the battle is set against him before and behind, he chooses of all the choice men of Israel and puts them in array against the Syrians. The rest of the people he commits into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he puts them in array against the children of Ammon. He says, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. 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 are with him come near to the battle against the Syrians, and they flee before him. When the children of Ammon see that the Syrians have fled, they likewise flee before Abishai, and enter into the city. Then Joab returns from the children of Ammon and comes to Jerusalem.
