What Does 1 Chronicles 19:7 Mean?
The hired chariots and the king of Maachah encamp at Medeba, and the Ammonites gather from their cities to join them. A formidable coalition assembles, confident in its numbers and weaponry as it prepares for battle against Israel.
Great armies and gleaming chariots make an impressive show, but outward strength is no guarantee of victory. History repeatedly shows that the LORD is not bound by the size of an army. The faithful need not be dismayed by overwhelming odds when God is their defense.
