16 Jonʹa·than the son of Saul now rose up and went to David at Hoʹresh, that he might strengthen+ his hand in regard to God.+

22 And they went on to hold the festival of unfermented cakes+ seven days with rejoicing; for Jehovah caused them to rejoice, and he had turned+ the heart of the king of As·syrʹi·a around toward them to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of the [true] God, the God of Israel.

9 For all of them were trying to make us afraid, saying: “Their hands+ will drop down from the work so that it will not be done.” But now strengthen* my hands.+

3 Strengthen the weak* hands, YOU people, and make the knees that are wobbling firm.+
