¹⁰ He placed the rest of his troops under the command of his brother Abishai, who put them in position facing the Ammonites. ¹¹ 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. ¹² 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!”
