2 Chronicles 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.

2 Chronicles 13:14 In-Context

12 ergo in exercitu nostro dux Deus est et sacerdotes eius qui clangunt tubis et resonant contra vos filii Israhel nolite pugnare contra Dominum Deum patrum vestrorum quia non vobis expedit

13 haec illo loquente Hieroboam retro moliebatur insidias cumque ex adverso hostium staret ignorantem Iudam suo ambiebat exercitu

14 respiciensque Iudas vidit instare bellum ex adverso et post tergum et clamavit ad Dominum ac sacerdotes tubis canere coeperunt

15 omnesque viri Iuda vociferati sunt et ecce illis clamantibus perterruit Deus Hieroboam et omnem Israhel qui stabat ex adverso Abia et Iuda

16 fugeruntque filii Israhel Iudam et tradidit eos Deus in manu eorum
