1 Chronicles 19:10-12

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him, in front and behind, he chose from all the choice of Israel and set himself in formation to meet the Aramites.

¹¹ And he delivered the rest of the people into the hand of Abishai, his brother. And they put themselves in formation against the children of Ammon.

¹² And he said, “If Aram is too strong for me, then you shall help me. And if the children of Ammon prevail against you, then I will help you.
