2 Chronicles 20:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 20:10

And now, behold, the children of Ammon, and Moab, and Mount
Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of
the land of Egypt
Charging them not to meddle with them, nor take any of their lands from them, ( Deuteronomy 2:5 Deuteronomy 2:9 Deuteronomy 2:19 ) , but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
in obedience to the divine command, when it was in their power to have done it.

2 Chronicles 20:10 In-Context

8 And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,
9 If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house,) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.
10 And now, see, the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, whom you kept Israel from attacking when they came out of Egypt, so that turning to one side they did not send destruction on them:
11 See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.
12 O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you.
