Victory and safety are in the hands of the Lord

Chronicles 4, 5
Descendants of Judah, Jabez, prayed to the God for his pain and suffering.
Descendants of Simeon defeated the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped.
Descendants of Reuben, they waged war against the Hagrites, who fell into their hand. And they loves in their tents throughout all the region east of Gilead.
Descendants of Gad, they lived in Gilead, in Nashan and in its towns and in all the pastureland of Sharon to their limit.
The Reubenites, and Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish and Nodab, because the war was of God.
The members of the half-tribes of Manasseh live in the land, they were mighty warriors.
But they broke faith with the God of their fathers and whored after the gods of the peoples of the land, so the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
The two and a half tribes that settled east of the River Jorden- Ruben; Gad; the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Why?
Victory in the war is the blessing of the Lord, when these two and a half tribes broke faith with the God of their fathers, the suffering and destroy came upon them, no matter how they strong or many warriors.
How?
Victory and safety are in the hands of the Lord!
