The Key Word — תֶּחֱזַ֤ק, te.che.Zakgenerated
The verb חָזַק (chazaq) means to be strong or to strengthen. It conveys a sense of courage and support, indicating the action of becoming strong or powerful. The parsing as a Qal imperfect third person feminine singular suggests that it describes the Arameans' strength in a conditional context.
In this verse, Joab uses תֶּחֱזַ֤ק to express the potential strength of the Arameans, indicating a challenge that requires a response. The focus on strength underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for readiness in battle.

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses strong for תֶּחֱזַ֤ק.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb יֹּ֗אמֶר governs the entire verse, introducing Joab's speech. The structure follows a conditional format, with two clauses linked by אִם־ and וְאִם־, each presenting a scenario regarding the strength of the Arameans and Ammonites.
Each clause is structured to show the relationship between the strength of the enemies and the need for mutual support, highlighting the imperative nature of their situation.

The Septuagint translates תֶּחֱזַ֤ק as κρατήσῃ, which conveys a similar meaning of strength but emphasizes the action of holding power. This choice reflects a nuanced understanding of the Hebrew term, focusing on the ability to maintain strength in battle.
The translation choice indicates a slight shift in focus from the state of being strong to the act of exerting strength, which may reflect the translators' intent to convey the dynamics of conflict more vividly.

The word “succour” here is tĕ ?shû‘âh, a less frequent synonym of yĕ ?shû‘âh, the term in Samuel. I will help (succour) thee.—Samuel, “I will march to succour thee.” This verb is often rendered “to save,” and the cognate noun, “salvation.”

Aram
The son of Shem (Gen. 10:22); according to Gen. 22:21, a grandson of Nahor. In Matt. 1:3, 4, and Luke 3:33, this word is the Greek form of Ram, the father of Amminadab (1 Chr. 2:10).
The word means high, or highlands, and as the name of a country denotes that elevated region extending from the northeast of Palestine to the Euphrates. It corresponded generally with the Syria and Mesopotamia of the Greeks and Romans. In Gen. 25:20; 31:20, 24; Deut. 26:5, the word “Syrian” is properly “Aramean” (R.V., marg.).…
(high). The name by which the Hebrews designated, generally, the country lying to the northeast of Palestine; the great mass of that high tableland which, rising with sudden abruptness from the Jordan and the very margin of the Lake of Gennesaret, stretched at an elevation of no less than 2000 feet above the level of the sea, to the banks of the Euphrates itself. Throughout the Authorized Version the word is, with only a very few exceptions, rendered, as in the Vulgate and LXX., SYRIA. Its earliest occurrence in the book of Genesis is in the form of Aram-naharaim , i.e. the "highland of or between the two rivers." (Genesis 24:10) Authorized Version "Mesopotamia." In the later history we meet with a number of small nations or kingdoms forming parts of the general land of Aram; but as Damascus increased in importance it gradually…
1. The name of three men in the Bible: a son of Shem, Ge 10:22, a grandson of Nahor, Ge 22:21, and an ancestor of our Lord, Ru 4:19 1Ch 2:10 Mt 1:3 Lu 3:33 2. Nearly synonymous with Syria; the Hebrew name of the whole region northeast of Palestine, extending from the Tigris on the east nearly to the Mediterranean on the west, and to the Taurus range on the north. It was named after Aram the son of Shem. Thus defined, it includes also Mesopotamia, which the Hebrews named Aram-naharaim, Aram of the two rivers, Ge…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
