5So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
“This again displays that the Canaanites were organized as city-states instead of one unified nation. It took the leadership of Adoni-Zedek to bring them together.
Though they were afraid, they were still clever. Afraid to attack Israel directly, they attacked their subjects, the Gibeonites.” (Guzik)
That’s the same strategy the devil uses on us! He doesn’t have the power to attack God directly so he attacks His creation, His subjects and His children!
How do you withstand the wiles and cleverness of the devil when he makes war against you?
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Are you studying Gods word daily and fellowshipping with other Christians on a regular basis?
Blessings
