go out to battle
Deuteronomy 20:1-4
1
When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2
And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
3
And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
4
For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

5
And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

4
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
