fled before Israel

1 Chronicles 19:13,14 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God...

Psalm 18:32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

Psalm 33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

Psalm 46:11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

seven thousand chariots;' which difference probably arose from mistaking () {noon final}, which stands for

700, for () zayin, with a dot above, which denotes

7000, or vice versa: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other.

footmen If these troops were as we have suppose, a kind of {dismounted cavalry}, the terms {footmen and horsemen} might be indifferently applied to them.

Ammonites and Syrians Defeated

10Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. 11And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon. 12And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then you shall help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then I will help you. 13Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight. 14So Joab and the people that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him. 15And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem. 16And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. 17And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him. 18But 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. 19And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
