When so many potent nations joined together against Jehoshaphat, it did much increase the difficulty: when so many potent Kings united all their strength and power together. But yet look, and you shall find this also increased their deliverance. By that means they were delivered of all their enemies at once, they struck them off at one blow, as you read 2 Chr. 20.1, 2, 3.22, 23, 24, &c. If God had ruined them in the rise, broken in pieces their counsels, &c. neither had their destruction been so grievous, nor his peoples deliverance so glorious. But now suffering them to bundle themselves ⟨p. 199⟩together, and God delivering; as he shows his mercy towards his own, so he gets glory out of the other. Read also Josh. 9.1, 2, 3. and Josh. 10.4, 5, 6, 7, &c.
