1 Chronicles 19:8-13

8When DavidH1732 heardH8085 about it, he sentH7971 JoabH3097 and allH3605 the armyH6635, the mightyH1368 menH1368. 9The sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 cameH3318 outH3318 and drewH6186 upH6186 in battleH4421 formationH4421 at the entranceH6607 of the cityH5892; and the kingsH4428 whoH834 had comeH935 were byH905 themselvesH905 in the fieldH7704.

10Now when JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the 1battleH4421 was set againstH413 him at the frontH6440 and at the rearH268, he selectedH977 warriors from allH3605 the choiceH970 menH970 in IsraelH3478 and linedH6186 them upH6186 againstH7122 the ArameansH758. 11But the remainderH3499 of the peopleH5971 he placedH5414 2under the commandH3027 of 3AbshaiH52 his brotherH251; and they linedH6186 upH6186 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’s showH2388 ourselves courageousH2388 for the benefitH1157 of our peopleH5971 and the citiesH5892 of our GodH430; and may the LordH3068 doH6213 whatH2896 isH2896 goodH2896 in His sightH5869.”
