Then he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.”
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in battle array against the people of Ammon.
Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.”
