Thou shalt:
"But Abishaiª the sonª of Zeruiahª succouredª ° him, and smoteª °¹ the Philistine,ª and killedª ° him. Then¹ the men² ¹ of Davidª swareª ° unto him, saying,ª ° Thou shalt goª ° no¹ more¹ out with us to battle,ª that thou quenchª ° not¹ ¹ the lightª of Israel.ª" {2Sm 21:17}

if we flee:
"And I will comeª ° upon¹ him while he¹ [is] wearyª and weakª handed,ª and will make him afraid:ª °¹ and all¹ the peopleª that¹ [are] with¹ him shall flee;ª ° and I will smiteª °¹ the kingª only:¹" {2Sm 17:2} + "But the kingª of Syriaª commandedª °¹ his¹ thirtyª and twoª captains² that had rule over¹ his¹ chariots,ª saying,ª ° Fightª ° neither¹ with¹ smallª nor great,ª save¹ ¹ only¹ with¹ the kingª of Israel.ª" {1Kg 22:31} + "Awake,ª ° O sword,ª against¹ my shepherd,ª ° and against¹ the manª [that is] my fellow,ª saithª ° the LORDª of hosts:ª smiteª °¹ the shepherd,ª ° and the sheepª shall be scattered:ª ° and I will turnª ° mine handª upon¹ the little ones.ª °" {Zch 13:7}

The particle attah, Now, is doubtless a mistake for the pronoun attah, Thou, and so it appears to have been read by the LXX, Vulgate, and Chaldee, and by two of Kennicott's and De Rossi's manuscripts.

worth:
etc. Heb. as ten thousand of us, "The breathª of our nostrils,ª the anointedª of the LORD,ª was takenª ° in their pits,ª of whom¹ we said,ª ° Under his shadowª we shall liveª ° among the heathen.ª" {Lam 4:20}

succour:
Heb. be to succour, "And he said,ª ° If¹ the Syriansª be too strongª ° for¹ me, then thou shalt¹ helpª me: but if¹ the childrenª of Ammonª be too strongª ° for¹ thee, then I will comeª ° and helpª ° thee." {2Sm 10:11} + "So Joshuaª didª ° as¹ Mosesª had saidª ° to him, and foughtª ° with Amalek:ª and Moses,ª Aaron,ª and Hurª went upª ° to the topª of the hill.ª ... But Moses'ª handsª [were] heavy;ª and they tookª ° a stone,ª and putª ° [it] under¹ him, and he satª ° thereon;¹ and Aaronª and Hurª stayed upª ° his hands,ª the one¹ on the one side,² ¹ ¹ and the other¹ on the other side;² ¹ ¹ and his handsª were¹ steadyª until¹ the going downª ° of the sun.ª" {Exd 17:10-12}
