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.
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.
God caused the enemy armies to fight each other instead of fighting His people, leading to their own destruction.
📚 Historical Context
In the time of King Jehoshaphat of Judah, around the 9th century BC, the kingdom faced a massive invasion from allied enemies including the Ammonites, Moabites, and people from Mount Seir. As Jehoshaphat led his people in prayer and fasting, God intervened by causing confusion among the invaders, leading them to turn on each other in battle. This event highlights God's deliverance of His people through miraculous means, as recorded in the historical narrative of 2 Chronicles.
