“And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. ”
“When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.”

“And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men.”
“And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.”
People came and told David what had happened to the men, so he sent messengers to meet them, for the men were thoroughly humiliated. The king said,“Stay in Jericho until your beards grow again; then you may come back.”
When the Ammonites realized that David was disgusted with them, Hanun and the Ammonites sent 1,000 talents of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram Naharaim, Aram Maacah, and Zobah.
They hired 32,000 chariots, along with the king of Maacah and his army, who came and camped in front of Medeba. The Ammonites also assembled from their cities and marched out to do battle.
When David heard the news, he sent Joab and the entire army to meet them.
The Ammonites marched out and were deployed for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
When Joab saw that the battle would be fought on two fronts, he chose some of Israel’s best men and deployed them against the Arameans.
He put his brother Abishai in charge of the rest of the army and they were deployed against the Ammonites.
