1 Crónicas 5:20

1 Crónicas 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 Crónicas 5:20 In-Context

18 Los hijos de Rubén y de Gad y la media tribu de Manasés, hombres valientes, hombres que traían escudo y espada y tiraban con arco, y que eran diestros en batalla, fueron cuarenta y cuatro mil setecientos sesenta que salían a la batalla.

19 E hicieron guerra contra los agarenos, Jetur, Nafis y Nodab.

20 Y Dios les ayudó contra ellos, y los agarenos y todos los que estaban con ellos fueron entregados en sus manos; porque clamaron a Dios en la batalla, y El fue propicio a ellos porque confiaron en El.

21 Y tomaron sus ganados: cincuenta mil camellos, doscientas cincuenta mil ovejas, dos mil asnos; también cien mil hombres.

22 Muchos, pues, cayeron muertos, porque la guerra era de Dios. Y habitaron en su lugar hasta el destierro.
