2 Chronicles 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:16

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 realized that they were being attacked from the front and the rear, they cried out to the LORD for help. Then the priests blew the trumpets,

15 and the men of Judah began to shout. At the sound of their battle cry, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel and routed them before Abijah and the army of Judah.

16 The Israelite army fled from Judah, and God handed them over to Judah in defeat.

17 Abijah and his army inflicted heavy losses on them; 500,000 of Israel’s select troops were killed that day.

18 So Judah defeated Israel on that occasion because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their ancestors.
