12. Joab said to Abishai, “The Arameans may be too strong for me. If they are, then you must help me. Or, the Ammonites may be too strong for you. If they are, then I will help you.
13. Let’s be strong. We must fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what he thinks is right.”
14. Then Joab and the army with him went to attack the Arameans. And the Arameans ran away from them.
15. The Ammonite army saw that the Arameans were running away. So they also ran away from Abishai and his army. The Ammonites went back inside their city. And Joab went back to Jerusalem.
