Context — Civil War against Jeroboam
13Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
14When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets,
15and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. 17Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.Cross References

2 Chronicles 13:15 Summary
[This verse shows that when the men of Judah trusted God and cried out to Him, He gave them victory over their enemies. This is similar to how God helped the Israelites in Joshua 6:20 when they shouted and the walls of Jericho fell. The men of Judah raised the battle cry, which was a way of expressing their faith and trust in God. By trusting in God, we can also experience His power and faithfulness in our lives, just as it is promised in Deuteronomy 20:4.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the men of Judah to raise the battle cry?
Raising the battle cry was a way for the men of Judah to express their faith and trust in God, similar to how the Israelites shouted when the walls of Jericho fell in Joshua 6:20. This action demonstrated their dependence on God for victory.
How did God route Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah?
The Bible does not provide a detailed explanation of how God routed Jeroboam and all Israel, but it is clear that God intervened on behalf of Judah, just as He promised to do in Deuteronomy 20:4. This intervention was a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness to those who trust in Him.
What is the significance of the men of Judah crying out to the LORD in 2 Chronicles 13:14 before raising the battle cry?
The men of Judah crying out to the LORD in 2 Chronicles 13:14 shows that they recognized their need for God's help and were seeking His intervention. This is similar to the psalmist's cry for help in Psalms 107:6, and it demonstrates the importance of prayer and seeking God's guidance in times of need.
Is this event a promise that God will always give us victory when we cry out to Him?
While God does promise to be with us and help us in times of need, as seen in Isaiah 41:10, this event is a specific instance of God's intervention on behalf of Judah. It is not a guarantee of victory in every situation, but rather a demonstration of God's faithfulness to those who trust in Him.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can 'raise the battle cry' in my own life, trusting God for victory in the challenges I face?
- How can I, like the men of Judah, recognize my need for God's help and seek His intervention in times of need?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust God for intervention, and how can I apply the principles of this verse to those situations?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my dependence on God, like the men of Judah did, and how will this impact my relationships and daily life?

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 13:15
2 Chronicles 13:15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.Ver. 15. Then the men of Judah gave a shout.] Initio pugnae, de more antiquorum. Together with their loud outcries - first for fear perhaps, afterwards to affright their enemies - prayers went up to God. And see the happy effect thereof. God smote Jeroboam.] With a panic terror, with furies in his own conscience, and with some grievous disease, whereof, Nabal-like, at length he died.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 13:15
(15) Then the men of Judah gave a shout.—The same verb (hâria‘) occurred in 2 Chronicles 13:12, in the sense of sounding an alarm with the “trumpets of alarm” (t’rû‘ah.) Here our version gives the right sense. Immediately after the priests had blown a blast upon the trumpets, the warriors raised a shout or war- cry. (Comp. Judges 7:18-20). God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.—The wild panic which seized the host of Israel, when they heard the shout of their foes, is thus forcibly described. The same phrase is used in Judges 20:35, and again by the chronicler (2 Chronicles 14:12). (Comp. the Vulg., “perterruit Deus Jeroboam et omnem Israel.” Syriac, “the Lord routed,” &c.)
