TSK · 2 Chronicles 16:7

The LORD’S message against Baasha came to Jehu son of Hanani:

He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; in this regard there was none like him among the kings of Judah either before or after.

That day the Israelites were defeated; the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD God of their ancestors.

He followed in his father Asa’s footsteps and was careful to do what the LORD approved.

“Be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic because of the king of Assyria and this huge army that is with him! We have with us one who is stronger than those who are with him.

Egypt Will Disappoint Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead, those who rely on war horses, and trust in Egypt’s many chariots and in their many, many horsemen. But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel and do not seek help from the LORD.

Individuals Are Challenged to Put Their Trust in the Lord The LORD says,“I will put a curse on people who trust in mere human beings, who depend on mere flesh and blood for their strength, and whose hearts have turned away from the LORD.
