Exegesis
The clause attem omrim {אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים | ʾat-tem ʾō-mə-rîm} ‘you are saying’ introduces the opponents’ claimed resolve, and the following infinitive lehitḥazzeq {לְהִתְחַזֵּק | lə-hit-ḥaz-zēq} functions as the content of what they “say,” expressing intention (“to strengthen themselves / to take a stand”).
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:8
And now, you are saying that you will strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David, and you are a great multitude, and with you are golden calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods .
