12 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight."
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good.
12 Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him."
12 Courage! We'll fight with might and main for our people and for the cities of our God. And God will do whatever he sees needs doing!"
12 Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight."
12 Be courageous! Let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. May the Lord 's will be done."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 10:12
Commentary on 2 Samuel 10:6-14
(Read 2 Samuel 10:6-14)
They that are at war with the Son of David, not only give the provocation, but begin the war. God has forces to send against those that set his wrath at defiance, Isaiah 5:19, which will convince them that none ever hardened his heart against God, and prospered. Christ's soldiers should strengthen one another's hands in their spiritual warfare. Let nothing be wanting in us, whatever the success be. When we make conscience of doing our duty, we may, with satisfaction, leave the event with God, assuredly hoping for his salvation in his own way and time.
