15 When the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered together.
16 Then1 Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond2 the River, and they came to Helam. And Shobach the commander of Hadadezer’s army went before them.
17 When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array against David and fought with him.
18 Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand ahorsemen of the Syrians, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.
19 And when all the kings who were servants to1 Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and aserved them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
