A BATTLE WON BY A SINGING CHOIR
2 Chronicles 20:20-24
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the
wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and
said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe
in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his
prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21 And when he had consulted with
the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should
praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army,
and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy [endureth] for ever. 22
And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set
ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir,
which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the
children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of
mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy [them]: and when they had
made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to
destroy another. 24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in
the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they
[were] dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped._
