So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the Arameans for battle, and they fled before him.
Joab advanced the people that were with him to fight against Aram, and they retreated from before him.
And behold, a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel, saying, “Thus says the Lord: Have you seen this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this day, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Take courage, and let us prove worthy of our people and the cities of our God. May the Lord do what seems right to Him.”
When the Ammonites saw the Arameans fleeing, they also fled before Abishai his brother and entered the city. So Joab returned to Jerusalem.
