What Does 2 Chronicles 25:7 Mean?
A prophet appeared before the king with a direct command from God. The message was stark: the hired soldiers from Israel—particularly those from Ephraim in the north—should not march with Judah's forces.
The reason centered on God's presence and approval. The LORD had withdrawn His favor from Israel, making their military might unreliable regardless of their skill. Winning with them would mean winning without God's support.
