2 Samuel 10

וַיִּשְׁלַח הֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיֹּצֵא אֶת-אֲרָם אֲשֶׁר מֵעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר וַיָּבֹאוּ חֵילָם וְשׁוֹבַךְ שַׂר-צְבָא הֲדַדְעֶזֶר לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
16
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
וַיָּנָס אֲרָם מִפְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּֽהֲרֹג דָּוִד מֵֽאֲרָם שְׁבַע מֵאוֹת רֶכֶב וְאַרְבָּעִים אֶלֶף פָּֽרָשִׁים וְאֵת שׁוֹבַךְ שַׂר-צְבָאוֹ הִכָּה וַיָּמָת שָֽׁם׃
18
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
