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 come and help you.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.”
And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, that he might set them 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.”
