katanya: Dengarlah olehmu, hai kamu sekalian orang Yehuda dan orang isi Yeruzalem dan engkaupun, hai raja Yosafat. Demikian inilah firman Tuhan kepadamu: Janganlah kamu takut dan janganlah kamu gentar akan tentara yang besar ini; karena perang ini bukan atasmu, melainkan atas Allah juga.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said, hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou King Jehoshaphat,.... There is a climax or gradation in these words rising from the lowest to the highest; from the people of the cities in the country, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem the metropolis, and from thence to the king the supreme governor:

thus saith the Lord unto you, be not afraid, nor dismayed, by reason of this great multitude; whose numbers were discouraging to the king, and he had taken notice of them, which this respects:

for the battle is not your's, but God's: the cause was his, and he would espouse and maintain it; not they, but he, would fight the battle, and therefore they had nothing to fear.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet uses words familiar to the people, and connected with several great deliverances (see the marginal references).

2 Chronicles 20:16

By the “cliff (or, rather - as in the margin - ascent) of Ziz,” we must understand the mountain path which leads up from Engedi across the elevated tract still known as El-Husasah, in the direction of Tekoa 2 Chronicles 20:20.

At the end of the brook - Rather, “at the end of the gulley,” or dry torrent-course. No name like Jeruel has been as yet found in this district.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 20:15. For the battle is not yours, but God's. — God will not employ you in the discomfiture of this great host; he himself will take the matter in hand, deliver you, and destroy them.
