Through the faith of Judah's ruler and of his armies "the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel. So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest." 2 Chronicles 20:29, 30.

"Gud er vor tilflugt og styrke, en hjælp i angsten, prøvet til fulde ..... Han splintrer buen, sønderbryder spydene, skjoldene tænder han i brand. Hold inde og kend, at jeg er Gud, ophøjet blandt folkene, ophøjet på jorden! Hærskarers Herre er med os, Jakobs Gud er vor faste borg." Salme 46.
