1 Chronicles 19:8-13

8When DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, he sentH7971 JoabH3097 and allH3605 the armyH6635, the mightyH1368 menH1368. 9The sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 cameH3318 out and drewH6186 up in battleH4421 array at the entranceH6607 of the cityH5892, and the kingsH4428 whoH834 had comeH935 were by themselvesH905 in the fieldH7704.

10Now when JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the 1battleH4421 was set againstH413 him in frontH6440 and in the rearH268, he selectedH977 from allH3605 the choiceH970 men of IsraelH3478 and they arrayedH6186 themselves againstH7122 the ArameansH758. 11But the remainderH3499 of the peopleH5971 he placedH5414 in the handH3027 of 2AbshaiH52 his brotherH251; and they arrayedH6186 themselves againstH7122 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983. 12He saidH559, “IfH518 the ArameansH758 are tooH4480 strongH2388 for me, then you shall helpH1961H8668 me; but ifH518 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 are tooH4480 strongH2388 for you, then I will helpH3467 you. 13Be strongH2388, and let us showH2388 ourselves courageousH2388 for the sakeH1157 of our peopleH5971 and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430; and may the LordH3068 doH6213 whatH2896 is goodH2896 in His sightH5869.”
