1 Chronicles 19:12 In-Context

10 Now when Yo'av saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Yisra'el, and put them in array against the Aram.

11 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Avishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of `Ammon.

12 He said, If the Aram be too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of `Ammon be too strong for you, then I will help you.

13 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seems him good.

14 So Yo'av and the people who were with him drew near before the Aram to the battle; and they fled before him.
