Verse 12 is found in chapter 10 of 2 Samuel. The Ammonites realize the seriousness of their action and hire Aramean forces. Joab finds himself surrounded and divides his troops between two fronts, trusting that the Lord will do what he considers good. The battle ends with the enemies retreating. Joab’s statement combines military responsibility with theological dependence: Israel must act courageously, but the final outcome belongs to God.

Sé fuerte, y seamos valientes por nuestro pueblo y por las ciudades de nuestro Dios. Que Jehová haga lo que le parezca bien».
Sois ferme, et montrons du courage pour notre peuple et pour les villes de notre Dieu, et que l'Eternel fasse ce qui lui semblera bon!
Fortificati, e portiamoci valorosamente per lo popolo nostro, e per le città del nostro Dio. E faccia il Signore ciò che gli parrà bene.
Esforça-te, pois, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus; e faça o SENHOR o que bem parecer aos seus olhos.
你要剛強,我們要為自己的百姓,為我們上帝的城鎮奮勇。願耶和華照他所看為好的去做!」
