Praise leads to victory

2 Chronicles 13

Rehoboam succeeded Solomon as king, and Abijah succeeded Rehoboam.
However, during the reign of Rehoboam, Jeroboam, the son of the servant of a servant to Solomon, rebelled against Rehoboam.
After the death of Rehoboam, Abijah, who succeeded him, was involved in a war with Jeroboam, the rebel.
Jeroboam ambushed Abijah and the people of Judah, both in the front and at the back.
But the Bible has it to say that when the priest of Judah blew the trumpet, their soldiers shouted. God fought for them and smote Jeroboam to death.
In vs. 20, neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the Lordstruck him, and he died. The Bible records that God himself struck Jeroboam to death.
The lesson here is that if you blow a trumpet to God and give a shout, God himself will fight for you.
