The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: CH1 19:18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the
Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand
footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
CH1 19:19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to
the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his
servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
CH1 20:1 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the
time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army,
and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged
Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and
destroyed it.
