13. Then a certain prophet came to see King Ahab of Israel and told him, "This is what the LORD says: Do you see all these enemy forces? Today I will hand them all over to you. Then you will know that I am the LORD." 14. Ahab asked, "How will he do it?" And the prophet replied, "This is what the LORD says: The troops of the provincial commanders will do it." "Should we attack first?" Ahab asked. "Yes," the prophet answered. 15. So Ahab mustered the troops of the 232 provincial commanders. Then he called out the rest of the army of Israel, some 7,000 men . 16. About noontime, as Ben-hadad and the thirty-two allied kings were still in their tents drinking themselves into a stupor, 17. the troops of the provincial commanders marched out to the city as the first contingent. As they approached, Ben-hadad's scouts reported to him, "Some troops are coming from Samaria." 18. "Take them alive," Ben-hadad commanded, "Whatever they have come for peace or for war." 19. But Ahab's provincial commanders and the entire army had now come out to fight. 20. Each Israelite soldier killed his Aramean opponent, and suddenly the entire Aramean army panicked and fled. The Israelites chased them, but King Ben-hadad and a few of his Charioteer escaped on horses. 21. However, the king of Israel destroyed the other horses and chariots and slaughtered the Arameans. 22. Afterward the prophet said to king Ahab, 'Get ready for another attack. Begin making plans now, for the king of Aram will come back next spring." 1 Kings 20:13-22 NLT 4. Thank you for coming today.

And in the action and the doing God’s mighty hand is made evident to those around us. But we cannot stop preparing and being prepared for the battle.
