2 Chronicles 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:16

And the children of Israel fled before Judah
Were in such a fright and consternation, that they could not stand their ground, or engage at all; but took to flight immediately:

and God delivered them into their hand;
to be taken and slain by them.

2 Chronicles 13:16 In-Context

14 When Judah's soldiers looked around, the battle was in front of them and behind them. They cried out to the LORD, the priests blew the trumpets,

15 and the men of Judah shouted. When they shouted, God attacked Jeroboam and all Israel in front of Abijah and Judah.

16 The Israelites fled from Judah's [army], and God handed them over to Judah.

17 So Abijah and his men defeated them decisively, and 500,000 of the best men of Israel were killed.

18 So the Israelites were humbled at that time, and the men of Judah won because they trusted the LORD God of their ancestors.
