Divrey Hayamim Bais 13:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:18

Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time,
&c.] Humbled and weakened, but not reduced to the government of the house of David:

and the children of Judah prevailed;
or grew strong:

because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers;
trusted in him, and not in an arm of flesh; the Targum is,

``in the Word of the Lord God of their fathers.''
