2 Chronicles 20 reports how King Jehoshaphat faced a great threat of enemies from Moab and Ammon. He calls the people of Judah to seek God's help, and God responds to him through the prophet Jaaziel, who assures him that God will fight for them and give victory. Then Jehoshaphat puts singers in front of the army to praise God and when the enemies arrive, they are attacked by invisible forces and end up destroying each other. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in 2 chronicles 20, in order of similarity:
Psalm 121:2: "My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth." This verse highlights the importance of seeking God's help, who is the creator of the universe and has the power to protect us and guide us in all situations.

Philippians 4:6-7: "Don't worry about anything, but in all prayers ask God what you need and always pray with a grateful heart. And the peace of God, that no one can understand, will keep the heart and the Mind of you, for you are united with Christ Jesus. " This verse encourages Christians to trust God in all circumstances, seeking Him in prayer and having a grateful heart. This brings peace to our mind and heart, even in difficult times.

We destroy arguments and all the pretense that rises against the knowledge of God, and we bring all thought captive, that they may obey Christ. " This verse highlights the importance of using the spiritual weapons God has given us to face the battles of life, and not trust only in our own strength or wisdom.
