1 Chronicles 19:9-12

And the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

came out
<03318> (8799)_,

and put the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

before the gate
<06607>

of the city
<05892>_:

and the kings
<04428>

that were come
<0935> (8804)

[were] by themselves in the field
<07704>_.

Now when Joab
<03097>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the battle
<04421>

was set against him before
<06440>

and behind
<0268>_,

he chose out
<0977> (8799)

of all the choice
<0977> (8803)

of Israel
<03478>_,

and put [them] in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Syrians
<0758>_.

{the battle...: Heb. the face of the battle was} {choice: or, young men}

And the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

he delivered
<05414> (8804)

unto the hand
<03027>

of Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>_,

and they set [themselves] in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

{Abishai: Heb. Abshai}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If the Syrians
<0758>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for me, then thou shalt help
<08668>

me: but if the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for thee, then I will help
<03467> (8689)

thee.
