But most recent commentators supply a second negative, and render it: But go thou alone, act, be strong for the battle – God shall then not make thee to fall.<\/P><\/p>\n Be strong for the battle; <\/B>take courage, and strengthen thyself as much as thou canst. It is an ironical concession, like that, Go, and prosper<\/I>. <\/P> <\/p>\n But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle<\/strong>,…. An ironical expression; if thou wilt not be advised, take them with thee, and try what thou canst do; exert all thy courage, and use thy military skill, and mark the issue:<\/p>\n God shall make thee fall before the enemy<\/strong>; notwithstanding the number of thy troops, and those of thy auxiliaries; though some take them to be spoken seriously, and read the words, “but go thou”; that is, alone, without the hired troops, and fight boldly and courageously; or otherwise “God shall make thee fall”, c.<\/p>\n for God hath power to help and to cast down<\/strong> to help with a few, and to cast down with many; to help without the hired Israelites, and to cast down with them.<\/p>\n (8) But if thou wilt go.<\/strong>Rather, But go thyself;<\/em> in contrast with the prohibition, Let not the army of Israel go.<\/p>\n Do it, be strong for the battle.<\/strong>Compare 1Ch. 22:16<\/span> : Arise! act!<\/p>\n God shall make thee fall.<\/strong>Before these words, the expression wl,<\/em> and not, must have dropped out of the text.

The ancient versions were evidently embarrassed by the passage. The LXX. render: Because if thou think to prevail through them, then will the Lord rout thee before thy foes;<\/em> because it is from the Lord both to be strong and to rout. Vulg.: But if thou thinkest that wars depend on the strength of an army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemy.<\/em> Syriac: Because thou art going to make war, the Lord will cast thee down before thy foes;<\/em> because thou hast not praised the Lord, who is the helper and uplifter.
