2 Chronicles 20:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 20:6

And said, O Lord God of our fathers
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whose covenant God he was: art not thou God in heaven?
that dwellest and rulest there, and dost whatever thou pleasest in the armies of it: and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the Heathens?
being King of kings, and Lord of lords, all the world over: and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to
withstand thee?
his power being infinite, unlimited, and uncontrollable, and so not resistible by finite creatures, at least not so as to be stopped and overcome.
