2 Samuel 10:16
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
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.
Hadadezer sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates (note: Hebrew the River), and they came to Helam with Shobach (note: Shobach is a variant of Shophach; see 1 Chronicles 19:16.) the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
