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 Las tribus al oriente del Jordán
Había 44.760 guerreros competentes en los ejércitos de Rubén, Gad y la media tribu de Manasés, hábiles en combate y armados de escudos, espadas y arcos.

19 Hicieron guerra contra los agarenos, los jetureos, los nafiseos y los nodabitas.

20 Clamaron a Dios durante la batalla, y él contestó su oración porque confiaron en él. De modo que derrotaron a los agarenos y a todos sus aliados.

21 Entre el botín que tomaron de los agarenos había 50.000 camellos, 250.000 ovejas, 2000 burros y 100.000 cautivos.

22 Muchos de los agarenos murieron en la batalla porque Dios luchaba contra ellos. Los habitantes de Rubén, Gad y Manasés vivieron en su tierra hasta que fueron llevados al destierro.
