1 Crônicas 5:20

20 e foram ajudados contra eles, de sorte que os hagarenos e todos quantos estavam com eles foram entregues em sua mão; porque clamaram a Deus na peleja, e ele lhes deu ouvidos, porquanto confiaram nele.

1 Crônicas 5:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 5:20

And they were helped against them
The Israelites were helped against the Ishmaelites, to fight with them, and overcome them; either by their brethren of the house of Israel, as the Targum, those on this side Jordan; or rather by the Lord, to whom they cried, and who was entreated by them as follows:

and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that [were]
with them;
they and their confederates and auxiliaries, the Ituraeans, &c.

for they cried to God in the battle;
which at first seems to have gone against them; and they prayed to God, as the Targum, while they were fighting, that he would appear for them, and give them victory:

and he was entreated of them;
he received their prayer, as the same paraphrase; he heard them, and answered them:

because they put their trust in him;
in his power and providence, and not in their own strength, courage, and military skill; the Targum is,

``because they trusted in his word.''

1 Crônicas 5:20 In-Context

18 Os rubenitas, os gaditas, e a meia tribo de Manassés tinham homens valentes, que traziam escudo e espada e entesavam o arco, e que eram destros na guerra, quarenta e quatro mil setecentos e sessenta, que saíam � peleja.

19 Fizeram guerra aos hagarenos, bem como a Jetur, a Nafis e a Nodabe,

20 e foram ajudados contra eles, de sorte que os hagarenos e todos quantos estavam com eles foram entregues em sua mão; porque clamaram a Deus na peleja, e ele lhes deu ouvidos, porquanto confiaram nele.

21 E levaram o gado deles: cinqüenta mil camelos, duzentos e cinqüenta mil ovelhas e dois mil jumentos; e também cem mil homens,

22 pois muitos caíram mortos, porque de Deus era a peleja; e ficaram habitando no lugar deles até o cativeiro.
