Theological / Devotional

Jehoshaphat cried out. In 2 Chron. 18:31 are the additional words: “And the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.” It was probably a spontaneous cry to God for help, and to his own forces for immediate assistance. The cry was recognized by the Syrians as not coming from the king of Israel.
