Deuteronomy 20 talks about war laws for the Israelites. The chapter presents the instructions that must be followed when the people go to battle, including who can fight, how to prepare for war and what to do with captives and spoils. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Deuteronomy 20:
Psalm 144:1: "Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands to war, my fingers to battle." This verse highlights the importance of preparation for war, which is emphasized in Deuteronomy 20.
1 Samuel 17:47: "And all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save by the sword or the spear; for the battle is from the Lord, and He shall surrender all of you into our hands." This verse emphasizes that victory in war comes from God and not from the skills of the combatants, a theme present in Deuteronomy 20.
2 Kings 6:16: "Don't be afraid," he said, "those who are with us are more than those with them." This verse shows how God's confidence can help Israelites face challenges in war, how it is emphasized in Deuteronomy 20.
Proverbs 21:31: "The horse is prepared for battle day, but victory comes from the Lord." This verse emphasizes the importance of preparation for war, but also points out that victory comes from God, as it is emphasized in Deuteronomy 20.
2 Chronicles 20:15: "He said, Listen, all of you from Judah and Jerusalem! Do not be afraid or be discouraged because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but of God." This verse emphasizes that victory in war comes from God and not from the skills of the combatants, a theme present in Deuteronomy 20.
