Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for my ⌞troops⌟, be ready to help me. And if the Ammonites are too strong for your ⌞troops⌟, I’ll help you.
He put his brother Abishai in charge of the rest of the troops. They organized for combat against the Ammonites.
Be strong! Let’s prove ourselves strong for our people and for the cities of our God, and the Lord will do what he considers right.”
When you hear the trumpet, assemble around me. Our God will fight for us!”
Help carry each other’s burdens. In this way you will follow Christ’s teachings.
