John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 13:12

Trumpets — Upon the sounding whereof God hath solemnly promised to assist his people, Numbers 10:9. The Lord — You have not only us for your enemies, but God, even the God whom your fathers served. It is folly to fight against the God of almighty power: but it is treachery and base ingratitude, to fight against your father's God.
