Et ait Joab: Si prævaluerint adversum me Syri, eris mihi in adjutorium: si autem filii Ammon prævaluerint adversum te, auxiliabor tibi.
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me, but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
Et Ioabe dic: si Syrose contra me praevale, es ad me in adiutorio: si autem filios Ammone praevale contra te, auxilior ad te.
