”So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai, and entered the city. So Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went to Jerusalem.“
II Samuel 10:13-14 NKJV
a. They fled before him: It doesn’t even say that Joab engaged the Syrians in battle. This mercenary army fled before the army of the mighty men because God was with them. God promised this kind of blessing upon an obedient Israel (Deuteronomy 28:7).
b. They also fled before Abishai, and entered the city: When the Ammonites saw the Syrians retreating, they also retreated. They could no more stand before the army of the mighty men than the Syrians could. (Guzik)
God Was With Them!
I am reminded of a verse:
”Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”“ Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV
And another!
”So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”“ Hebrews 13:6 NKJV
If you are a born again follower of Jesus you can say your fire 🔥 insurance is up to date! You are marked as His and man can’t touch your soul!
Is the Lord your helper?
Blessings
