Joab said to Abishai, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, you will help me. If the Ammonites are too strong for you, I will come and help you.
Help each other with your troubles. When you do this, you are obeying the law of Christ.
Some of us have no problem with these things. So we should be patient with those who are not so strong and have doubts. We should not do what pleases us
I have prayed that you will not lose your faith! Help your brothers be stronger when you come back to me.”
So if you hear the trumpet, run to that place. We will all meet together there, and our God will fight for us!”
Then Joab gave the other men to his brother Abishai to lead against the Ammonites.
Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. The Lord will do what he decides is right.”
