Context — David Defeats Ammon and Aram
16When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
18But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
19When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.Cross References

1 Chronicles 19:18 Summary
This verse tells us about a big battle where the Arameans, who were enemies of Israel, ran away because God was with David and the Israelites. David's army was able to defeat the Arameans, killing many of their soldiers and their commander, Shophach. This shows that when we trust in God, like David did, He can give us the victory over our challenges, just as He did for the Israelites in battles like the one in Exodus 14:13-14. By trusting in God's power and presence, we can face our own battles with courage and confidence, knowing that He is always with us, as promised in Isaiah 41:10.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Arameans flee before Israel in 1 Chronicles 19:18?
The Arameans fled because God was with David and the Israelites, giving them the victory, as seen in other battles such as 2 Chronicles 32:7-8 where God's presence brings fear to the enemies of Israel.
How many charioteers and foot soldiers did David kill in this battle?
According to 1 Chronicles 19:18, David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers, demonstrating God's power and might in battle, similar to the victories in Exodus 14:13-14 and Joshua 10:10-11.
What was the result of Shophach's death for the Arameans?
The death of Shophach, the commander of the Aramean army, likely led to demoralization and disarray among the Arameans, contributing to their defeat, as seen in the impact of leadership losses in 1 Samuel 31:1-7 and 2 Kings 8:7-15.
What does this verse reveal about David's military leadership?
This verse shows that David was a skilled and courageous military leader, trusting in God for the victory, as also seen in his victory over Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:45-47, where faith in God brings triumph over seemingly insurmountable enemies.
Reflection Questions
- How does this verse demonstrate God's sovereign power in the affairs of nations and armies?
- What can we learn from David's example about trusting God in the face of overwhelming odds?
- In what ways can we apply the principle of trusting in God's power and presence in our own lives and challenges, just as David did in this battle?
- How does the outcome of this battle reflect the promise of Psalm 20:7, where trust in God is contrasted with trust in human strength and weaponry?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 19:18
But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host. Seven thousand men - (cf.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 19:18
(18) Seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen.—Heb., seven thousand chariotry (rèkeb), &c. Samuel reads, “seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horse-men.” Such deviations seem to indicate independent sources. We can hardly choose between the two accounts; but “horsemen” may be more correct than “footmen.” (See 1 Chronicles 18:4-5.) And killed Shophach . . .—Abridged statement. (Comp. 2 Samuel 10:18.)

Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 19:18
18. seven thousand men which fought in chariots] R.V. the men of seven, thousand chariots. 2 Samuel 10:18, the men of seven hundred chariots. forty thousand footmen] 2 Samuel 10:18, forty thousand horsemen. Swarms of horsemen have usually formed the strength of armies raised on the eastern bank of the Euphrates; the statement of 2 Sam, may therefore be more accurate than that of 1 Chr.
