1 Chronicles 19:12 In-Context

10 When Yo'av saw that he would be fighting on two fronts, ahead and behind, he chose the best troops of Isra'el to deploy against Aram;

11 while the rest of the army he put under the command of Avishai his brother to deploy against the army of 'Amon.

12 He said, "If Aram is too strong for me, you help me; but if the army of 'Amon is too strong for you, then I will help you.

13 Take courage, and let's be strong for the sake of our people and the cities of our God. May ADONAI do what seems good to him."

14 So Yo'av and the people with him went to engage Aram in battle, and they fled before him.
