וַיַּרְא יוֹאָב כִּֽי־הָיְתָה אֵלָיו פְּנֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה מִפָּנִים וּמֵֽאָחוֹר וַיִּבְחַר מִכֹּל בְּחוּרֵי בישראל וַֽיַּעֲרֹךְ לִקְרַאת אֲרָֽם
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans;
וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָעָם נָתַן בְּיַד אַבְשַׁי אָחִיו וַֽיַּעֲרֹךְ לִקְרַאת בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן
and the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
וַיֹּאמֶר אִם־תֶּחֱזַק אֲרָם מִמֶּנִּי וְהָיִתָה לִּי לִֽישׁוּעָה וְאִם־בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן יֶחֱזְקוּ מִמְּךָ וְהָלַכְתִּי לְהוֹשִׁיעַֽ לָֽךְ
And he said: ‘If the Arameans be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me, but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
חֲזַק וְנִתְחַזַּק בְּעַד־עַמֵּנוּ וּבְעַד עָרֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽיהוָה יַעֲשֶׂה הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינָֽיו
Be of good courage, and let us prove strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seemeth Him good.’
וַיִּגַּשׁ יוֹאָב וְהָעָם אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ לַמִּלְחָמָה בַּֽאֲרָם וַיָּנֻסוּ מִפָּנָֽיו
So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Arameans; and they fled before him.
