2 Chronicles 20:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thus he speaks, partly though he had great armies to be drawn together in due time upon great occasions, 2 Chronicles 17:14, &c.; yet he seems to have been surprised by these men before his forces were in readiness to oppose them; and partly because he well knew, and piously and wisely considered, that no human forces, though numerous and valiant, were able to defend him without God's assistance, which he feared by his sins he had forfeited, and then he had really been as weak as water. Our eyes are upon thee, looking to thee only for relief and succour.

2 Chronicles 20:12

12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
