2 Chronicles 20:23 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The armies of Ammon and Moab turned against the people of Mount Seir, completely wiping them out. After they finished destroying the people of Seir, they turned on each other and began fighting among themselves.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God caused the enemy armies to fight each other instead of fighting His people, leading to their own destruction.

📚 Historical Context

This occurred during King Jehoshaphat's reign when a vast coalition army came against Judah. After Jehoshaphat and his people prayed and worshiped, God supernaturally intervened by causing confusion among the enemy forces. The Ammonites, Moabites, and Edomites (people of Mount Seir) who had united against Judah ended up destroying each other instead.
