2 Chronicles 20 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

The thanksgiving of Judah.

Jehoshaphat exhorted his troops to firm faith in God. Faith inspires a man with true courage; nor will any thing help more to the establishing of the heart in shaking times, than a firm belief of the power, and mercy, and promise of God. In all our trust in the Lord, and our praises of him, let us especially look at his everlasting mercy to sinners through Jesus Christ. Never was an army so destroyed as that of the enemy. Thus God often makes wicked people destroy one another. And

never was a victory celebrated with more solemn thanksgivings. (2Ch 20:31-37)
