Context of 2 Chronicles 20:13
11But now those people want to destroy us! They are coming to chase us out of the land that you gave to us as our home. 12So, our God, please punish these people! We are not strong enough to fight against this large army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do. But we are asking you to help us.’ As King Jehoshaphat prayed, all the men of Judah were standing there at the temple. They had their babies, their wives and their children with them. 14Then the Lord's Spirit came with power to Jahaziel as he stood among the people. Jahaziel was a Levite, a descendant of Asaph. He was the son of Zechariah, who was the son of Benaiah, who was the son of Jeiel, who was the son of Mattaniah. 15Jahaziel said, ‘Listen to me all you people of Judah. That includes you people who live in Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat too. The Lord says to you, “Do not be afraid because this large army is coming to attack you. You must be brave! This is God's battle, not your battle.
