And I looked
 Took a view of the people, and observed that they were in their proper place, and sufficiently armed, and also whether the enemy was coming: 
 and rose up and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the
 rest of the people;
 who were under their nobles and rulers, as their captains and commanders: 
 be not ye afraid of them;
 of their enemies, their numbers, and their threats: 
 remember the Lord, which is great and terrible;
 who is greater than they, and is to be feared and trusted in by his people, and is terrible even to the kings of the earth: 
 and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives
 and your houses;
 intimating, that they were in danger of losing all that was near and dear, valuable and precious to them, if they did not fight for them; and therefore it became them to quit themselves like men, and be strong.
