  • 1 Kgs 20:13-21 : 13 Meanwhile, a prophet approached Ahab, king of Israel, and said, 'This is what the LORD says: Do you see this vast army? I will give it into your hand today, and you will know that I am the LORD.' 14 Then Ahab asked, 'By whom will this be accomplished?' The prophet replied, 'This is what the LORD says: By the young men of the provincial leaders.' Ahab further asked, 'Who will start the battle?' The prophet answered, 'You will.' 15 So Ahab mustered the young men of the provincial leaders, and there were two hundred thirty-two of them. After them, he assembled all the people of Israel—seven thousand in total. 16 They marched out at noon, while Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings allied with him were drinking themselves drunk in their tents. 17 The young men of the provincial leaders went out first, and Ben-Hadad sent scouts who reported to him, 'Men have come out from Samaria.' 18 He said, 'If they have come out for peace, capture them alive; and if they have come out for war, capture them alive.' 19 The young men of the provincial leaders marched out of the city, followed by the army. 20 Each man struck down his opponent, and the Arameans fled with Israel pursuing them. Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, escaped on horseback along with some cavalry. 21 The king of Israel went out and struck down the horses and chariots, and he inflicted a great defeat on the Arameans.

On the seventh day, the battle began, and the Israelites struck down 100,000 Aramean foot soldiers in one day. 30 The rest of the Arameans fled to the city of Aphek, where a wall collapsed on 27,000 of them.

  • 2 Chr 13:5-9 : 5 Don’t you know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingship over Israel forever to David and his descendants by a covenant of salt? 6 But Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master. 7 Then worthless and reckless men gathered around him and opposed Rehoboam, son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not stand against them. 8 And now you think you can stand firm against the kingdom of the LORD in the hands of David’s descendants because you have a great multitude and golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods. 9 Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites, and appointed your own priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of what are not gods. 10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him. The priests who serve the LORD are the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites carry out their responsibilities. 11 Every morning and evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set the rows of bread on the ceremonially clean table and light the golden lampstand and its lamps each evening. We are keeping the charge of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him. 12 Now look, God is with us at our head, and His priests with their trumpets are ready to sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed. 13 But Jeroboam deployed an ambush to come from behind them, so Judah was in front and the ambushers were behind them. 14 When Judah turned, they saw that the battle was in front of them and behind them. They cried out to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets. 15 Then the men of Judah raised a battle cry, and as they shouted, God struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
