  • Josh 7:11-13 : 11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep.

  • 2 Chr 31:20-32:22 : 20 This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good, upright, and true before the Lord his God. 21 In everything he undertook in the service of the house of God, in observing the law and the commandments, and in seeking his God, he worked wholeheartedly and prospered. 1 After these events and acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah. He camped against the fortified cities, intending to break through them. 2 When Hezekiah realized that Sennacherib had come and was preparing for war against Jerusalem, 3 he consulted with his officials and warriors to stop the flow of the springs that were outside the city, and they supported him. 4 A large number of people gathered together, and they stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?" 5 Hezekiah took courage and rebuilt all the broken sections of the wall. He built towers on it and constructed another wall outside it. He strengthened the Millo in the City of David and made plenty of weapons and shields. 6 He also appointed military commanders over the people and gathered them in the square at the city gate. He encouraged them, saying: 7 "Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. 8 With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles." The people regained confidence from the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 9 After this, while Sennacherib king of Assyria was at Lachish with all his forces, he sent his officials to Jerusalem to Hezekiah king of Judah and to all the people of Judah who were there, saying: 10 "This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: On what are you trusting, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege? 11 Isn't Hezekiah misleading you, leaving you to die by famine and thirst, by saying, 'The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria'? 12 Hasn't the same Hezekiah removed his high places and altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, 'You must worship before one altar and burn sacrifices on it'? 13 Do you not know what I and my ancestors have done to the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands able to deliver their land from my hand? 14 Who among all the gods of these nations that my ancestors utterly destroyed was able to deliver his people from my hand, that your God will be able to deliver you from my hand? 15 Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you in this way, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my ancestors. How much less will your God save you from my hand? 16 His servants continued to speak against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah. 17 Sennacherib also wrote letters to ridicule the LORD, the God of Israel, and to say against Him, "Just as the gods of the nations of other lands did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand." 18 They called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city. 19 They spoke about the God of Jerusalem as they did about the gods of the peoples of the earth—products of human hands. 20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz prayed about this and cried out to heaven. 21 And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and leaders and officials in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he withdrew in disgrace to his own land. When he went into the temple of his god, some of his own sons killed him there with the sword. 22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them on every side.

He had a name written that no one knows except Himself. 13 He was clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
  • 2 Chr 20:3-9 : 3 Jehoshaphat was afraid, so he resolved to seek the LORD. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 The people of Judah gathered together to seek help from the LORD; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek Him. 5 Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the LORD before the new courtyard. 6 He said: 'LORD, the God of our ancestors, are you not the God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, and no one can withstand you.' 7 'Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham, your friend?' 8 They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your name, saying, 9 'If disaster comes upon us—whether the sword, judgment, plague, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in your presence (for your name is in this temple) and cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.' 10 'But now, here are the men from Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whose land you would not let Israel invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them.' 11 'See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance.' 12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you. 13 All the men of Judah, with their wives, children, and little ones, stood there before the LORD.
