SCRIPTURE

"So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him." — 1 Chronicles 19:14 (ASV)

Before the Syrians. —Rather, against Aram; so Samuel, with the more classical construction. The preposition used here was rendered to meet (1 Chronicles 12:17).
