The accounting of king Jehoshaphat and judah's victory ove the host of ammon, Moab and Mount sier as recorded in II chro. 20: 1-30 gives credence to the virtue of obedience to divine instruction and its consequent reward.

Specifically, the divine instruction was that Jehoshaphat and all Judah should worship and praise the beauty of his Holiness. While the lord did the fighting of the battle on their behalf.

Here we see the confirmation of the fact that they experienced victory when they obeyed the word of his prophet vs. 14-20. The central truth being exemplified is that praise brings victory. Thus their enemies, were destroyed while they carted away great spoils.
