# Connecting Statement:
This verse continues to describe a second battle when the Arameans who fled from Joab in [1 Chronicles 19:15](../19/15.md) were reinforced by other Arameans and attacked Israel again.
# When David was told this
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: When David's messengers told him that a larger Aramean army was coming" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# he gathered ... He arranged
David did not do these things alone. His official and officers helped him. Alternate translation: "David and his officials gathered ... David and his officers arranged" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
# all Israel
This is a generalization. Not every person in Israel came to fight. Alternate translation: "a very large number of Israelites" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])
# He arranged
"He organized"
# they fought him
Here "him" refers to David's soldiers, in addition to David. Alternate translation: "the Arameans fought David and his soldiers" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
