2 Samuel 10:11

Good News Translation

Joab said to him, “If you see that the Syrians are defeating me, come and help me, and if the Ammonites are defeating you, I will go and help you.

See the chapter Copy

He placed the rest of his troops under the command of his brother Abishai, who put them in position facing the Ammonites.

Be strong and courageous! Let's fight hard for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord's will be done!”

If you hear the bugle, gather around me. Our God will fight for us.”

But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you must strengthen your brothers.”

We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not please ourselves.

Help carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ.
