1 Chronicles 5:22 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelled in their steads until the captivity. When a man fights against himself, in his lusts, passions, and unauthorised aspirations, he fights a war approved of God, and if he fights that war in the name of God he shall be none other than a victor at the close. When a man fights for the poor, the oppressed, the helpless, he is engaged in a battle over which God holds the banner, and the holding of that banner is the guarantee of triumph. (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity. |
