2 Chronicles 20:2 meaning
In one of the critical moments of Judah's history, King Jehoshaphat received alarming news of a formidable invasion by the Moabites and Ammonites. The threat was especially dire as these enemies had already crossed into Judah, catching the king and his people off guard. This invasion was not only a military challenge but also a spiritual test for Jehoshaphat, who had previously sought to uphold God's law and protect his kingdom from idolatry. The invasion highlighted the complex relationships between nations at that time and the fickle alliances, as some of those who were once aided by Judah now turned against them.
