2 Crónicas 20:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 20:20

And they rose early in the morning
Being confident of success, animated by what the prophet said to them: and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa;
which, according to Jerom {u}, was six miles from Bethlehem, and nine from Jerusalem, some say twelve, beyond which was nothing but a desert; it was part of the wilderness of Judah: and as they went forth;
out of Jerusalem, through one of the gates of it: Jehoshaphat stood and said, believe in the Lord your God;
in the promises he had made, particularly with respect to the victory over their present enemies; the Targum is,

``in the Word of the Lord your God:''
so shall you be established;
have courage and firmness of mind, as well as be safe and secure: believe his prophets;
sent by him, and that speak in his name, particularly Jahaziel, who had predicted victory to them: so shall ye prosper;
things will succeed to your wishes, and beyond your expectations.

2 Crónicas 20:20 In-Context

18 Josafat y todos los habitantes de Judá y de Jerusalén se postraron rostro en tierra y adoraron al SEÑOR,
19 y los levitas de los hijos de Coat y de Coré se pusieron de pie para alabar al SEÑOR a voz en cuello.
20 Al día siguiente, madrugaron y fueron al desierto de Tecoa. Mientras avanzaban, Josafat se detuvo y dijo: «Habitantes de Judá y de Jerusalén, escúchenme: ¡Confíen en el SEÑOR, y serán librados! ¡Confíen en sus profetas, y tendrán éxito!»
21 Después de consultar con el pueblo, Josafat designó a los que irían al frente del ejército para cantar al SEÑOR y alabar el esplendor de su santidad con el cántico:«Den gracias al SEÑOR;su gran amor perdura para siempre».
22 Tan pronto como empezaron a entonar este cántico de alabanza, el SEÑOR puso emboscadas contra los amonitas, los moabitas y los del monte de Seír que habían venido contra Judá, y los derrotó.
