During a time of overwhelming threat from a vast army, which prophet assured King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah with the message, "The battle is not yours, but God's," leading to a miraculous victory?

Correct Answer

D) Jahaziel

In 2 Chronicles 20:14-15, King Jehoshaphat of Judah faced a formidable threat from the combined forces of the Moabites, Ammonites, and Meunites. Feeling overwhelmed, Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah sought God's help through prayer and fasting. In response, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, who delivered God's message: "Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God's" (2 Chronicles 20:15). This reassurance led to a miraculous victory, as God caused confusion among the enemy forces, leading them to destroy each other. This story highlights the theme of trusting in God's strength and victory, reminding us that we fight from a place of divine assurance.
