advanced to fight the Arameans
on 1 Chronicles 19:14-15
Joab advances and the Syrian mercenaries break first; seeing their hired strength gone, the Ammonites likewise flee. Joab does not press the siege but returns to Jerusalem, leaving the city standing for the second campaign 1 Chronicles 20:1 will open. The rout matches 2 Samuel 10:13-14 without variation.
This site's exposition
So Joab went back to
The Ammonites see the Arameans flee and run from Abishai into their city. Joab leaves the city standing and returns to Jerusalem. The siege of this city, Rabbah, opens in 20:1, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown follow the Arameans to their second defeat at verse 18.

proposed
Joab's address before the engagement displays the faith and piety that became a commander of the Hebrew people. The mercenaries being defeated, the courage of the Ammonites failed; so that, taking flight, they entrenched themselves within the fortified walls.
