When the Syrians realized they were being defeated by Israel, they suffered a significant loss.
David led the counterattack and killed 7,000 Syrian soldiers (see 2 Samuel 10:15-19).
The accounts of this battle vary slightly in their details. Some manuscripts report that David destroyed 700 chariots (2 Samuel 10:18), while others mention 7,000 horsemen, 7,000 chariots, and 40,000 foot soldiers.
