English Standard Version

¹¹ And he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. ^12 (A)Be of good courage, and ^(B)let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and ^(C)may the Lord do what seems good to him.” ¹³ So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
