2 Samuel
“When the Ammonites saw that they had become odious to David, the Ammonites sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and from the king of Maakah, one thousand men, and from Tob, twelve thousand men. When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army with the warriors. The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance of the gate. But the Arameans of Zobah, Rehob, Tob, and Maakah were by themselves in the open field. When Joab saw that the battlefronts were both before and behind him, he selected some from the best men in Israel and lined them up opposite Aram. The remainder of the people he placed under the charge of Abishai his brother, and lined them up opposite the Ammonites. Then he said, “If Aram starts to prevail over me, you shall help me, but if the Ammonites begin to prevail over you, then I will come to help you.”
2 Samuel 10:6-11 MEV
Better Together
Do you prefer to work alone or with others?
We are better together. A team effort can accomplish more than one person alone.
Joab’s battle plan depended on them working together against their foe. They had to divide themselves in order to conquer, but also keep a close eye on each other to help when needed. Joab knew that they would be better together.
