David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men

on 1 Chronicles 19:8-9

The Ammonites draw up “at the entrance to the city”, and the hired kings take the field on their own. The arrangement splits Joab's problem in two, a walled enemy at his back and open cavalry in front, the same pincer 2 Samuel 10:8-9 describes.
