The army of Isra'el, already
mobilized and supplied, went to meet them; but the army of Isra'el, encamped
opposite them, looked like two herds of goats; while Aram filled the land. At
this point, a man of God approached and said to the king of Isra'el, "Here
is what ADONAI says: 'Because Aram said that ADONAI is a God of the hills but
not a God of the valleys, I will hand over to you this entire huge army. Then
you will know that I am ADONAI.'" They remained in camp opposite each
other for seven days. On the seventh day, the battle began; and the people of
Isra'el killed 100,000 soldiers of Aram in a single day.
You, children, are from God and have
overcome the false prophets, because he who is in you is greater than he who is
in the world.
Don't be afraid, for I am with you;
don't be distressed, for I am your God. I give you strength, I give you help, I
support you with my victorious right hand.
They will fight against you, but they
will not overcome you, for I am with you," says ADONAI, "to rescue
you."
