1 Chronicles 19:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,

¹¹ And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.

¹² And he said: If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee.
