1 Chronicles 19:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² He told Abishai,^[a] “If the Arameans prove too strong for me, then you are to help me. If the Ammonites prove too strong for you, then I will help you. ¹³ Be strong, be courageous on behalf of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what he thinks is best.” ¹⁴ So Joab and the soldiers who were with him attacked the Arameans in battle formation, and the Arameans retreated in front of him.
