Divrey Hayamim Bais 13:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:14

And when Judah looked back
On hearing a noise behind them:

behold, the battle was before and behind;
men were set in battle array, and the battle was begun, and an attack made upon them both ways:

and they cried unto the Lord;
for help against their enemies, and to deliver them out of their hands:

and the priests sounded with the trumpets;
to inspire them with cheerfulness, and to suggest to them that God was with them and they need not be afraid.

Divrey Hayamim Bais 13:14 In-Context

12 And, hinei, HaElohim Himself is with us as Rosh, and His Kohanim have their chatzotzerot to sound the alarm against you. O Bnei Yisroel, fight ye not against Hashem Elohei Avoteichem; for ye shall not prosper.
13 But Yarov’am caused a ma’arav to come about behind them so that they were before Yehudah, and the ma’arav was behind them.
14 And when Yehudah turned, hinei, the milchamah was before and behind, and they cried unto Hashem, and the Kohanim sounded the battle trumpets.
15 Then the Ish Yehudah gave a shout, and as the Ish Yehudah shouted, it came to pass, that HaElohim routed Yarov’am and kol Yisroel before Aviyah and Yehudah.
16 And the Bnei Yisroel fled before Yehudah, and Elohim delivered them into their yad.
