1 Chronicles 19:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version
16 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated, they sent messengers and summoned the Arameans who were from beyond the Euphrates. Shophak[a] the commander of the army of Hadadezer was leading them.
17 This was reported to David, so he gathered all Israel and crossed the Jordan. He came upon them and deployed for battle against them. David deployed for battle to engage Aram, and they fought against each other.
18 The Arameans fled from Israel. David killed seven thousand Aramean charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers.[b] He also killed Shophak the commander of the army.
