1 Chronicles 19:10

David Defeats Ammon and Aram

9The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.10When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.11And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
