2 Samuel 10:11

11 And he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.

2 Samuel 10:11 In-Context

9 When Jo'ab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the picked men of Israel, and arrayed them against the Syrians;
10 the rest of his men he put in the charge of Abi'shai his brother, and he arrayed them against the Ammonites.
11 And he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him."
13 So Jo'ab and the people who were with him drew near to battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him.
