  • 2 Sam 10:6-9 : 6 When the Ammonites realized they had become odious to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-Rehob and Zobah, as well as the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and twelve thousand men from Tob. 7 When David heard of this, he sent Joab and all the army of mighty warriors. 8 The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance of the city gate, while the Arameans from Zobah and Rehob, along with the men of Tob and Maacah, were stationed by themselves in the open field. 9 When Joab saw that battle lines were drawn up against him both in front and behind, he chose some of the select men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans. 10 He placed the rest of the people under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites. 11 Joab said, 'If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you will help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to help you.' 12 Be strong, and let us show strength for the sake of our people and the cities of our God. May the LORD do what seems good to Him. 13 Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him. 14 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and went back to Jerusalem. 15 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together. 16 Hadadezer sent for the Arameans who were beyond the Euphrates River. They came to Helam, led by Shobach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army. 17 When David was informed, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans formed their battle lines to meet David and fought against him. 18 But the Arameans fled before Israel. David killed seven hundred Aramean charioteers and forty thousand horsemen. He also struck down Shobach, the commander of their army, who died there. 19 When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
  • 2 Sam 16:5-9 : 5 When King David reached Bahurim, a man from the family of Saul’s household came out, cursing as he approached. His name was Shimei, son of Gera. 6 He threw stones at David and all the servants of King David, even though all the people and the mighty warriors surrounded him on his right and left. 7 As he cursed, Shimei shouted, "Get out! Get out, you man of bloodshed, you worthless man! 8 The Lord has repaid you for all the bloodshed in the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. You are now caught in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed." 9 Then Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!" 10 But the king replied, "What does this have to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord told him to curse David, who can ask, 'Why did you do this?'" 11 David then said to Abishai and all his servants, "Look, my own son who came from my own body is trying to take my life. How much more now this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. 12 Perhaps the Lord will look upon my affliction and repay me with good for the curses I am receiving today. 13 So David and his men continued along the road, while Shimei kept pace with him on the hillside opposite, cursing and throwing stones and dirt at him. 14 The king and all the people with him arrived exhausted, and he refreshed himself there.
  • 2 Sam 17:1-9 : 1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, 'Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out and pursue David tonight.' 2 I will attack him while he is weary and weak-handed, and I will frighten him. All the people with him will flee, and I will strike down only the king. 3 I will bring back all the people to you, as though everyone returns to the man you seek. Then all the people will be at peace. 4 This plan seemed good in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then Absalom said, 'Summon Hushai the Archite as well, so we may hear what he has to say.' 6 When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, 'This is what Ahithophel has advised. Should we follow his advice? If not, speak up.' 7 Hushai said to Absalom, 'The advice Ahithophel has given this time is not good.' 8 Hushai continued, 'You know your father and his men; they are mighty warriors and bitter in spirit, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is an experienced fighter, and he will not spend the night with the troops.' 9 'Even now, he is hiding in one of the caves or some other place. If he attacks first, anyone who hears about it will say, "There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom."' 10 'Then even the bravest, whose courage is like that of a lion, will utterly melt away. For all Israel knows that your father is a warrior and that those with him are valiant men.' 11 'This is my advice: Gather all Israel to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and you yourself lead them into battle.' 12 'We will come upon him wherever he is found, and we will fall on him like dew settling on the ground. Not even one of his men will survive.' 13 'If he retreats into a city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will pull it into the valley until not even a pebble remains.' 14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, 'The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than that of Ahithophel.' For the LORD had ordained to thwart the good advice of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring disaster upon Absalom.
