⁷ Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.

² I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

⁶ They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

⁹ Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

¹⁰ Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
