“Be strong! Let’s fight bravely for the sake of our people and the cities of our God! The LORD will do what he decides is best!””
“Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.”

And so, seeing that the battle had been prepared against him, both facing him and behind, Joab chose some from all of the elect men of Israel, and he set up a battle line opposite the Syrians.
But the remaining part of the people he delivered to his brother Abishai, who formed a battle line against the sons of Ammon.
And Joab said: “If the Syrians prevail against me, then you shall assist me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail against you, then I will assist you.
Be valiant men. And let us fight on behalf of our people and the city of our God. Then the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”
And so, Joab, and the people who were with him, undertook the conflict against the Syrians, who immediately fled before their face.
Then, seeing that the Syrians had fled, the sons of Ammon themselves also fled from the face of Abishai, and they entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and he went to Jerusalem.
And so, the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
