1 King 20:16-30
Ben-Hadad despised Israelite, the Lord was with Israelites, so 7000 in all advanced and overpowered the horses and chariots and inflicted heavy losses on the Arameans.
Meanwhile the officials of the kings of Aram said him, "Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they were too strong for us. But if we flight them on the plains, surely we will be stronger than they." He agreed with them and acted according to what the officials recommended.
The next spring Bn-Hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to flight against Israel. Israelites were also mustered and given provisions, they marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.
The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, "This is what the Lord says:' Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord."
Why?
The flight is the Lord handle it, if the stronger one is proud and despised the Lord will be defeated.Israel will know who is the Lord.
Unfortunately Israel didn't learned that the Lord is their God.
The Lord gave many chances to Israelites let them know who He is. Just as now the Lord gives us many chances to know him, but many people are stiffnecked people.
How?
Pray to the Lord for many people they do not know the Lord, and be a honest follower of Jesus. Humble myself to walk on the way of the Lord. Don;t despise others.
