1Ch 5:20 | MHM | STEP | v. 20 : In the battle, the Israelites cried out to God and put their trust in Him. Although they had a strong army, they relied on God’s power, not just their own strength. They remembered that God had given them permission to fight for their land ( You shall deal thus with all the cities that are very far off , Deuteronomy 20:15 ). Like their ancestor Jacob, they prayed to God, especially when the battle was hard. God heard their prayers and helped them because they depended on Him (1 Chronicles 5:20; 2 Chronicles 13:14 ).
