When David sends envoys to console the new Ammonite king, they are humiliated, and the Ammonites hire vast Aramean forces. Joab and Abishai, trusting God to “do what seems good to him,” rout both armies; when the Arameans regroup, David himself crosses the Jordan and defeats them decisively, so that they make peace and abandon Ammon.
