Summary

In this verse, King Abijah and his army cried out to the Lord for help during a critical moment in battle against Jeroboam and the Israelites. Their desperate plea for divine intervention illustrates their recognition of God's sovereignty and power in times of need. The act of calling upon the Lord reflects their faith and dependence on Him for victory in the face of overwhelming odds. This passage serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking God's assistance and guidance in all circumstances, trusting in His ability to deliver His people from adversity.
