Exegesis
The verse opens with a pair of Qal imperatives chizku {חִזְק֣וּ | ḥizqû} “be strong” and ve’imtzu {וְאִמְצ֔וּ | wə-’imṣû} “be courageous,” forming parallelism that stresses communal resolve.
In context — 2 Chronicles 32:7
Be resolute and brave. Do not be afraid, and do not lose heart because of the king of Assyria or because of all the multitude with him, for there is more with us than with him.
