Commentary on 2 Chronicles 20:17

Theological / Devotional

Not need to fight. This was the Lord’s battle, not man’s. The enemies of Judah were fighting against God, and He would intervene in behalf of His people.

Stand ye still. These words are almost identical with those that Moses employed at the Red Sea (Ex. 14:13), immediately before the Lord destroyed the armies of Pharaoh. Now, as then, the victory would be entirely from God, with men acting as witnesses of His mighty power in their behalf.
