Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Be of good courage, and let us play the men. The Hebrew employs two conjugations of the same verb, literally, be strong, and let us show ourselves strong. And need there was for bravery; for the welfare, as he went on to show, of all Israel, and the honour of Israel's God, were in jeopardy. Finally he adds, The Lord do that which seemeth him good. They are the words not so much of confidence as of determined resolution. Come good or ill, he and Abishai would do their utmost.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Be of good courage, and let us play the men.--Literally, Be strong and let us strengthen ourselves. The same phrase is translated in Chronicles, "Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves valiantly." (Compare 1Samuel 4:9.) Joab felt that the battle was a critical one, and on it depended the welfare and even the safety of "our people" and "the cities of our God." The latter expression is in recognition of the fact that the whole land belonged to God, who allowed the use of it to His people.The Lord do.--Rather, The Lord will do. Joab's courage rose here to that highest point which is marked by the full trust that whatever may be the result, it will be that which seems best to Infinite wisdom and love.
