2 Samuel 10:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰ He left the rest of the army to his brother Abishai, who was to attack the city.

¹¹ “If I need assistance against the Syrians, come out and help me,” Joab instructed him. “And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, I will come and help you. ¹² Courage! We must really act like men today if we are going to save our people and the cities of our God. May the Lord’s will be done.”
