14 Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him.
14 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians for battle, and they fled before him.

14 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
14 When Joab and his troops attacked, the Arameans began to run away.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 19:14
Chapter Contents
David's wars.
The history is here repeated which we read 2 Samuel 10. The only safety of sinners consists in submitting to the Lord, seeking peace with him, and becoming his servants. Let us assist each other in a good cause; but let us fear lest, while made instruments of good to others, we should come short of salvation, through unbelief and sin.
