שמואל ב, פרק י׳, פסוק י״ז

David personally took command of the second military campaign across the Jordan River. Preparing for the impending clash, the Aramean armies massed together on a flat battlefield [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Marching to meet the enemy, David advanced with his forces to a location known as Helam [רד״ק]. As soon as he arrived, the Aramean soldiers arranged their battle lines against him, and the fighting commenced [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
