Cuando tu pueblo salga a la batalla contra su enemigo, por cualquier camino que tú los envíes, y oren al Señor vueltos hacia la ciudad que tú has escogido y hacia la casa que he edificado a tu nombre,
Si tu pueblo saliere en batalla contra sus enemigos por el camino que tú los enviares, y oraren a Jehová hacia la ciudad que tú elegiste, y hacia la casa que yo edifiqué a tu nombre,
Si tu pueblo saliere en batalla contra sus enemigos por el camino que tú los enviares, y oraren al SEÑOR hacia la ciudad que tú elegiste, y hacia la Casa que yo edifiqué a tu nombre,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy,.... In a foreign country, threatening to invade them, or having trespassed on their borders, or some way or other infringed on their liberties and privileges, and so given them just occasion to go to war with them:
whithersoever thou shalt send them; this case supposes their asking counsel of God, or having a direction and commission from him by a prophet, or some other way, to engage in war with the enemy:
and shall pray unto the Lord toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house I have built for thy name: for, notwithstanding the justness of their cause, and having a warrant from God to go to war, yet they were to pray to him for success when at a distance, even in a foreign land, and about to engage the enemy; and this they were to do, turning their faces towards the city of Jerusalem, and the temple there; declaring thereby that their dependence was upon the Lord that dwelt there, and their expectation of victory was only from him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 44. If thy people go out to battle — The SIXTH case refers to wars undertaken by Divine appointment: whithersoever thou shalt send them; for in no other wars could they expect the blessing and concurrence of the Lord; in none other could the God of truth and justice maintain their cause. There were such wars under the Mosaic dispensation, there are none such under the Christian dispensation: nor can there be any; for the Son of man is come, not to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Except mere defensive war, all others are diabolic; and, query, if there were no provocations, would there be any attacks, and consequently any need of defensive wars?
