And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Samuel. Ahithophel proposes pursuing David immediately with a small force and attacking while he is weakened. Hushai presents an alternative strategy that exaggerates David’s military strength and recommends gathering all Israel. Absalom and his advisers prefer the second plan. The narrator explains that God had determined to frustrate Ahithophel’s counsel. Providence appears here through ordinary political decisions, causing a seemingly convincing strategy to be rejected.

so würde jedermann verzagt werden, der auch sonst ein Krieger ist und ein Herz hat wie ein Löwe. Denn es weiß ganz Israel, daß dein Vater stark ist und Krieger, die bei ihm sind.
Así aun el hombre valiente, cuyo corazón sea como corazón de león, sin duda desmayará: porque todo Israel sabe que tu padre es hombre valiente, y que los que están con él son esforzados.
Entonces hasta el más valiente, aunque tenga un corazón como de león, se desanimará por completo. Todo Israel sabe que tu padre es valiente y que los hombres que están con él son hombres de valor.
Alors le plus vaillant, eût-il un coeur de lion, sera saisi d'épouvante; car tout Israël sait que ton père est un héros et qu'il a des braves avec lui.
Laonde eziandio i più valorosi, che hanno il cuore simile ad un cuor di leone, del tutto si avviliranno; perciocchè tutto Israele sa che tuo padre è uomo prode, e che quelli che son con lui son valorosi.
Então até o homem valente, cujo coração é como coração de leão, sem dúvida desmaiará; porque todo o Israel sabe que teu pai é valoroso, e homens valentes os que estão com ele.
雖有勇士膽大如獅子,他的心也必定融化,因為全 以色列 都知道你父親是英雄,跟隨他的人都是勇士。
