TSK · 2 Samuel 8:6

Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost that was at Geba and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul alerted all the land saying,“Let the Hebrews pay attention!”

Jonathan said to his armor bearer,“Come on, let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will intervene for us. Nothing can prevent the LORD from delivering, whether by many or by a few.”

I was with you wherever you went, and I defeated all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth.

He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s subjects. The LORD protected David wherever he campaigned.

David was in the stronghold at the time, while a Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.

Now King Mesha of Moab was a sheep breeder. He would send as tribute to the king of Israel 100,000 male lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.

He placed troops in all of Judah’s fortified cities and posted garrisons throughout the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had seized.

He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend even the strongest bow.

Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.

O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.

A horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory is from the LORD.
